[SOLVED] ALLOW LINKS

[teng84]

i have this code converts the url into links  the problem is that the link also affected and it brakes the real format

$string = 'http://php.net/testing_ko.php <a href="http://php.net/testing_ko.php">Other text</a>';
$pattern = '<((?:http|ftp|https)://[^ \'"]+[A-Z0-9/]\b)>i';
echo preg_replace($pattern,'<a href="$1">$1</a>',$string);

i want this to echo like this

http://php.net/testing_ko.php  <a href="http://php.net/testing_ko.php">Other text</a>

 

any ideas?

I think this is what you mean

 

<a href="http://php.net/testing_ko.php">http://php.net/testing_ko.php</a><a href="http://php.net/testing_ko.php">Other text</a>

try the code  posted it coverts all valid URL into links whatt i want is to ignore the link tags

[phpQuestioner]

use php strip_tags: http://us2.php.net/strip-tags

[teng84]

i know that strip tags..  actually it be part of that script once i have that work

[phpQuestioner]

is this what you wanting to do?

 

<?php

$string = 'http://php.net/testing_ko.php <a href="http://php.net/testing_ko.php">Other text</a>';
$pattern = '<((?:<http|ftp|https>)://[^ \'"]+[A-Z0-9/]\b)>i';
$test = preg_replace($pattern,'<a href="$1">$1</a>',$string);
echo strip_tags($test);

?>

 

this script above produces this (without the actual link - because I cannot reproduce the strip_tags on this forum):

 

http://php.net/testing_ko.php Other text

nope i need the link so i cant use strip tags

[phpQuestioner]

do this:

 

<?php

$string = 'http://php.net/testing_ko.php <a href="http://php.net/testing_ko.php">Other text</a>';
$pattern = '<((?:<http|ftp|https>)://[^ \'"]+[A-Z0-9/]\b)>i';
$test = preg_replace($pattern,'<a href="$1">$1</a>',$string);
$link = explode(" ",$string);
echo "<a href=\"";
echo $link[0];
echo "\">";
echo strip_tags($string);
echo "</a>\n";

?>

 

This way you get the "http://php.net/testing_ko.php" as your href and you get the "Other text" as the tags value. Test this out and see if this doesn't do what you want it to do. Otherwise your going to have to explain to me what your trying to do.
