[RESOLVED] Automatically make string into a link?
Hello All,
Okay so how do I make php search through a $_POST[variable] for a certain set of string, lets say R1000000.* Then I would want to turn that string (R1000000) into a link
[code]<a href=example.php?id=”R1000000″>R1000000</a>
Then append that link back into the original $_POST[variable] replacing the text version(R1000000), with the link version (<a href=example.php?id=”R1000000″>R1000000</a>. I’m not asking for someone to do this for me, just some guidance would be great!
Thank you!!

$text = preg_replace(
'/(version()([a-zA-Z0-9]+))/i',
'\1<a href="example.php?id=\2">\2</a>)',
$text
);
