//URL: Different URL parts
//Protocol, domain name, page and CGI parameters are captured into backreferenes 1 through 4
'\b((?#protocol)https?|ftp)://((?#domain)[-A-Z0-9.]+)((?#file)/[-A-Z0-9+&@#/%=~_|!:,.;]*)?((?#parameters)\?[-A-Z0-9+&@#/%=~_|!:,.;]*)?'

//URL: Different URL parts
//Protocol, domain name, page and CGI parameters are captured into named capturing groups.
//Works as it is with .NET, and after conversion by RegexBuddy on the Use page with Python, PHP/preg and PCRE.
'\b(?<protocol>https?|ftp)://(?<domain>[-A-Z0-9.]+)(?<file>/[-A-Z0-9+&@#/%=~_|!:,.;]*)?(?<parameters>\?[-A-Z0-9+&@#/%=~_|!:,.;]*)?'

//URL: Find in full text
//The final character class makes sure that if an URL is part of some text, punctuation such as a 
//comma or full stop after the URL is not interpreted as part of the URL.
'\b(https?|ftp|file)://[-A-Z0-9+&@#/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[-A-Z0-9+&@#/%=~_|]'

//URL: Replace URLs with HTML links
preg_replace('\b(https?|ftp|file)://[-A-Z0-9+&@#/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[-A-Z0-9+&@#/%=~_|]', '<a href="\0">\0</a>', $text);
