Need help with clickable hyperlinks

Currently I'm using the following code, which allows a url to be clickable:

<?=
makeClickableLinks(str_replace(chr(13),"<br>",strip_tags($rshome["article_summary"],"<b><strong><i>
<em><u><br><pre><blockquote><a><xmp><ol><ul><li>")));?>

However, if I try to add hyperlinks, such as <a href= "http://www.mysite.com/page.htm">display text</a> it will NOT display the clickable link.

How do I modify the php/html to allow hyperlinks?

Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you.

 

What is makeClickableLinks()?

Peace,

 

yes, makeClickableLinks must be a function of some sort,
copy the whole script here so we could help, or at least copy makeClickableLinks() function

 

Here is the section from the func.php:
------------------------

function makeClickableLinks($text) {
$text = eregi_replace('(((f|ht){1}tp://)[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\+.~#?&//=]+)','<a href="\\1" target=_blank>\\1</a>', $text);
$text = eregi_replace('([[:space:]()[{}])(www.[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\+.~#?&//=]+)','\\1<a href="http://\\2" target=_blank>\\2</a>', $text);
$text = eregi_replace('([_\.0-9a-z-]+@([0-9a-z][0-9a-z-]+\.)+[a-z]{2,3})', '<a href="mailto:\\1">\\1</a>', $text);
return $text;
}
