Php parse links/emails

Question

I am wondering if there is a simple snippet which converts links of any kind:

http://www.cnn.com to http://www.cnn.com&l         


        

Answer 1

Here's the email snippet:

$email = "abc@def.com";

$pos = strrpos($email, "@");
if (!$pos === false) {
    // This is an email address!
    $email .= "mailto:" . $email;
}

What exactly are you looking to do with the links? strip the www or http? or add http://www to any link if required?
