Hi,

I am setting up a basic content mgmt system for a client. My client will be copying and pasting long articles into a database field and the text often includes a URL somewhere in the article. Is there a way to parse the URL link (in other words, create a hyperlink from the URL text) without using a rich text editor? Javascript or PHP or something?


By the way, does anyone know what RTE this forum uses? It seems to work well in all browsers.

Thanks!

Natalie

Using PHP....
$text = ereg_replace("[[:alpha:]]+://[^<>[:space:]]+[[:alnum:]/]",
"<a href=\"\\0\">\\0</a>", $text);
