note 78359 added to function.preg-replace

Here's a derivate of Iasmin's function.
This one handles URL's followed by a period or comma too and
adds a _blank target to the hyperlinks.
Additionally it replaces e-mail addresses with a mailto
hyperlink.

<?php
function hyperlink($text) {
	// match
protocol://address/path/file.extension?some=variable&ano
ther=asf%
	$text =
preg_replace("/s([a-zA-Z]+://[a-z][a-z0-9_.-]*
			[a-z]{2,6}[a-zA-Z0-9/*-?&%]*)([s|.|,])/i&quo
t;, 
			" <a href="$1"
target="_blank">$1</a>$2",
$text);
	// match
www.something.domain/path/file.extension?some=variable&a
nother=asf%
	$text = preg_replace("/s(www.[a-z][a-z0-9_.-]*
			[a-z]{2,6}[a-zA-Z0-9/*-?&%]*)([s|.|,])/i&quo
t;, 
			" <a href="http://$1"
target="_blank">$1</a>$2",
$text);
	// match nameaddress
	$text =
preg_replace("/s([a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_.-]*[a-zA-Z]*
			[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_.-]*[a-zA-Z]{2,6})([s|.|,])/
i", 
			" <a
href="mailto://$1">$1</a>$2",
$text);
	return $text;
}
?>
