how to make a link to text

also change this:

<a href="http://sdfsd.com/dfdd.html">sdsfsd</a>

to this:

http://sdfsd.com/dfdd.html

also... for all the links found in a variable.

 

$text='.....';
echo html_entity_decode($text);

 

that doesn't solves it. i need to remove them completely.

 

This should do the trick:

i have to remove this too: <a href=""> </a>

because if i remove only http:// and www. then the hyperlink will be invalid.

also what i need is something like: preg_match_all <a.*href="(.*)".*</a>

just to keep: (.*)

i just can't figure it out for the right regex... don't know why the one above doesn't work for me. :S

hmm..... now i saw that i use preg_match_all lol... maybe i need preg_replace will try this. :>
