changing preg_replace

[darkfreaks]

can anyone tell me how to modify the following statement so its an ereg_replace and not preg for some reason it will not work in my function if it is not ereg_replace ???

 

<?php
$text = preg_replace("/[^a-z]+[^:\/\/](www\.".
"[^\.]+[\w][\.|\/][a-zA-Z0-9\/\*\-\?\&\%\=\,\.]+)/",
" <a href=http://\\3>\\3</a>", $text);?>

Well, your missing the / delimiter at the end of your regex. Perhaps that is why your preg_replace isn't working?

which line  ???

[sKunKbad]

the last line, right after

</a>

and before the "

what i really need is a regex expression that matches the following format for ereg_replace

http://www.mysite.com/index.php?action=whatever
www.mysite.com
http://www.mysite.com

Take a look at this:

It may be exactly what you need

OK, I fooled around with it and got it working:

 

<?php
$str = "Please go visit http://www.mysite.com/index.php?action=whatever";
$str .= " Please go visit http://www.mysite.com";
$str .= " Please go visit www.mysite.com";





function transformUrl($str){
    $str=utf8_decode(urldecode($str));
    $str=eregi_replace("(^| |>)(www([.]?[a-zA-Z0-9_/-?])[^< ]*)", "\\1<a href=\"http://\\2\">\\2</a>", $str);
    $str=eregi_replace("(^| |>)(http://www([.]?[a-zA-Z0-9_/-?])[^< ]*)", "\\1<a href=\"\\2\">\\2</a>", $str);
    $str=eregi_replace("(^| |>)(http://([.]?[a-zA-Z0-9_/-?])[^< ]*)", "\\1<a href=\"\\2\">\\2</a>", $str);
    return utf8_encode($str);
}

echo transformUrl($str);

?>
