Question

I need your help with making a weblink clickable when comments are made on mf website.. The code I have below does not achieve that. It only inserts (Code Not Shown), and the website is not clickable.

Thank you for your help.

      $reg = "/(http|https|ftp|ftps|www)\:\/\/[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,3}(\/\S*)?/g";

  if(preg_match($reg, $comment, $url,))         
       { 

  $comment_body = preg_replace($reg, "<a href = " .$url[0]. "> $url[0] </a> ", $comment);

                  }

Answer 1

I think the problem is how you specify your href: html likes quotes around sstuff like that. try:

$comment_body = preg_replace($reg, "<a href = \"" .$url[0]. "\"> $url[0] </a> ", $comment);

otherwise it will look like:

href=some_url.whatever

instead of

href="some_url.whatever"
