I am using the code from phpBB to automatically parse URLs and emails in news stories that can be added to a site. The code is as follows:
Code: Select all
function make_clickable($text)
{
// pad it with a space so we can match things at the start of the 1st line.
$ret = ' ' . $text;
// matches an "xxxx://yyyy" URL at the start of a line, or after a space.
// xxxx can only be alpha characters.
// yyyy is anything up to the first space, newline, comma, double quote or <
$ret = preg_replace("#(^|[\n ])([\w]+?://[^ "\n\r\t<]*)#is", "\\1<a href="\\2" target="_blank">\\2</a>", $ret);
// matches a "www|ftp.xxxx.yyyy[/zzzz]" kinda lazy URL thing
// Must contain at least 2 dots. xxxx contains either alphanum, or "-"
// zzzz is optional.. will contain everything up to the first space, newline,
// comma, double quote or <.
$ret = preg_replace("#(^|[\n ])((www|ftp)\.[^ "\t\n\r<]*)#is", "\\1<a href="http://\\2" target="_blank">\\2</a>", $ret);
// matches an email@domain type address at the start of a line, or after a space.
// Note: Only the followed chars are valid; alphanums, "-", "_" and or ".".
$ret = preg_replace("#(^|[\n ])([a-z0-9&\-_.]+?)@([\w\-]+\.([\w\-\.]+\.)*[\w]+)#i", "\\1<a href="mailto:\\2@\\3">\\2@\\3</a>", $ret);
// Remove our padding..
$ret = substr($ret, 1);
return($ret);
}this is the out put i get
blah blah blah blah http://www.somesite.com.
when what i actaully want is
blah blah blah blah http://www.somesite.com.
Notice the postion of the full stop in the first example, it is part of the link.
How can i change the code above to allow for this?
Thanks
