PHP Convert all urls into html links [duplicate]

Answer 1

assuming you already have an html document, I limited the recognition of URLs to

• not start with an "
• start with http or www

i came up with a solution like this:

$string = 'lorem ipsum www.foo.bar dolor sit http://fail.org amet http://abc.de.fg.com?bar=baz';
$rx = '%[^"](?P(?:https?://|www\.)(?:[-_a-z0-9]+\.)+(?:[a-z]{2,4}|museum/?)(?:[-_a-z0-9/]+)?(?:\?[-_a-z0-9+\%=&]+)?(?!'.$matches['link'].'';
}, $string).PHP_EOL;

the output string is

lorem ipsumwww.foo.bar dolor sit http://fail.org amethttp://abc.de.fg.com?bar=baz

The regex should work as intendet, an example string of yours could help
