How to parse Hyper-Links and E-mail addresses

by  BigBadDave  Posted    (Edited  )
Here is a quick function :

function parseHyper($string) {
$search = array ("/([\w\.\/\&\=\?\-]+)@([\w\.\/\&\=\?\-]+)/",
"/((ftp(7?):\/\/)|(ftp\.))([\w\.\/\&\=\?\-]+)/",
"/((http(s?):\/\/)|(www\.))([\w\.\/\&\=\?\-]+)/");
$replace = array ("<a href='mailto:$1@$2'>$1@$2</a>",
"<a href='ftp$3://$4$5' target='_blank'>$4$5</a>",
"<a href='http$3://$4$5' target='_blank'>$4$5</a>");
return preg_replace ($search, $replace, $string);
}

just call it like this :

$string = "www.foo-bar.com";
echo parseHyper($string);
