I'm using this PHP function to redirect text URLs as Links with Regular Expression validation. Just five lines of code, It's very useful. Take a look at this live demo .
To_Link.php
Contains PHP Code $text value validating with Regular Expressions
<?php
function To_Link($text){
$text = html_entity_decode($text);
$text = " ".$text;
$text = eregi_replace('(((f|ht){1}tp://)[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\+.~#?&//=]+)',
'<a href="\\1">\\1</a>', $text);
$text = eregi_replace('(((f|ht){1}tps://)[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\+.~#?&//=]+)',
'<a href="\\1">\\1</a>', $text);
$text = eregi_replace('([[:space:]()[{}])(www.[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\+.~#?&//=]+)',
'\\1<a href="http://\\2">\\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 $text;
}
?>
index.php
You have to include To_link.php. Using function To_Link('You Text and URL')
<?php
include('To_Link.php');$text='jQuery and Ajax best 9lessons http://tinyurl.com/naottn';
echo To_Link($text);
?>
