Help need for php code

[GoWFB_SEO]

I am creating a php script so that ppl can submit articles.

What code can I use so that when ppl tyle
<a href="http://www.domain.com">http://www.domain.com"</a> it will be converted to the actual link when the articles goes live?

I tried htmlentities($article_body) but it does not work, can anyone help me here? thanks

[helloworld]

if it is not too much trouble for you, you can go to
http://www.bedroomfurniturestores.com/articles

you can register an account and then just write something with <a href>, you should see the problem i am refering to here

[helloworld]

trying to create a new account I get this,


Fatal error: Call to undefined function: outputstor() in /var/www/public_html/platform/html3/articles/header.php on line 28


looks like it's trying to call a function that doesn't exsist?

thanks very much, actually right now my question is solved and i just fixed that page, but i do have another question here:

I did a upload image script, but it gives me this message:
move_uploaded_file(): open_basedir restriction in effect

I don't have full control over the server, is it something wrong with the permission?

Use phpinfo.php

<?php 
phpinfo(); 
?>

and find "open_basedir." If the setting is something other than "no value" then you might have to use that directory.

How did you fix the other problem?
PHP htmlspecialchars?

yes, under local value, i see something and "no value" under master value

the directory show in "local value" is the upper directory", so when I assign image directory, should I use

$Image_dir = "../directory-path" ??


for that problem, someone told me to use "stripslashes",

is there a code so that when I type http://www.domain.com, it will automatically become a link? (without using <a href>)

<?php
//check what?? could possibly use a $GET_['text'] to change a form //
$input = "http://www.yahoo.com is a great place to visit";

///change it///
     $input = trim($input);
     $input = htmlspecialchars($input);
     $input = preg_replace('#(.*)\@(.*)\.(.*)#','<a href="mailto:\\1@\\2.\\3">Email</a>',$input);
     $input = preg_replace('=([^\s]*)(www.)([^\s]*)=','<a href="http://\\2\\3" target=\'_new\'>\\2\\3</a>',$input);
     
   //echo modified input//
  echo "$input";
?>

This code will do

IE:

http://www.yahoo.com
www.yahoo.com
you@yahoo.com "converted to a mailto that says email"

what it will not do is,

http://yahoo.com

hope it helps, just didn't have much time today

thanks a lot, helloworld!! you really gave me a lot of help and i really appreciated it

just have one unswered question here,
for that upper level directory, i tried to use "../", but it seems still does not work

[helloworld]

Your welcome!

Did you try this:

$Image_dir = "../directory-path/"

Let me know if that works out

It's possible the host is not allowing it.

This one I am not quite sure about

[helloworld]

Also I believe with your setup it's not allowing you to access files outside the directory or sub directories so that may be a problem.

It's kind of hard to tell, not knowing much about the setup, and what's happening.

It seems to be a path issue though

It takes me about 3 hours and finally i got it solved (I didn't know I have permission to other paths, i am a master level )

Thanks again, helloworld

your welcome, glad to hear you got it working
