Hi there,

the below function maked links out of urls in a piece of text.

however i dont want it to make links out of image urls

i put in image urls in my text like this {img}IMAGE_URL{/img}

how would i edit the below please so it ignores everything in the {img tags}?
tnx


[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">\\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;



}
[/PHP]

Are all other types of URLs surrounded by something like {...} too in the same way as image URLS are surrounded by {img}? In other words, what tags surround URLS you do want to modify?

I think it would be easier to make the reg exp only include the other tags you want rather that omit image tags you don't want.
