Hello,

I have paragraphs of text in a database, and I am trying to convert the url's to proper links, e.g. :
This site Google is cool
would be : This site Google is cool

and the same if they had http:// on.

So far my code isn't working, so please I would be grateful if someone could help me achieve above.

Many Thanks,

Steven Gibbons

PHP Code:


			
if(!empty($data)) {

$url = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['url']);

$text = preg_replace('@(https?://([-\w\.]+)+(:\d+)?(/([\w/_\.]*(\?\S+)?)?)?)@', '<a href="$1">$1</a>', $url);

echo $text;

}
