Frankly, I don't understand what you are asking for! Are you trying to replace the hyperlink format of links: <a href=http://www.example.com>http://www.example.com</a>

with you own format:
_http://www.example.com_

If you use PHP, this is possilble... but using plain HTML, it is not possible to create hyperlinks in the format:
_http://www.Link.abc_

Ive got a page called bb.php with 2 arrays of strings i want to replace in the profiles of the people on my site... For example I replace < with &lt; and i relpace > with &gt; and i replace a new line with <br> and i replace {img} with <img src= and {/img} with >. I want to figure out what i can replace {url} and {/url} with so when people put a url between, it will link to it

Like this:
{url}http://www.example.com
<a href=http://www.example.com>http://www.example.com</a>

Unfortunatly to do this, i had to put in the link twice, If i have to, I know how to do it, but it would be much more complex of a php code, I was wondering if there is a simple HTML explanation that i could add code in front and in back of a url to make it link.

Note:
all {'s and all }'s are really ['s and ]'s, but i didn't want trap 17 to replace them....

Unless I'm badly mistaken, that is not the bbcode syntax for posting a url. A url would look like this:

[url = www.google.com ] Google! [/url ]

to render the following link:

Google!

I think a preg_replace in php should do the trick quite easily. Replace all [/ url] with </a> and all [url= with <a href=" and finally, all ] with ">. Or > and < instead of > and <, respectively. Only the last replace is a little tricky, and should be used with care. I cannot comment very much without further details, but I hope you get the general idea.

Having said that I hope I did not misunderstand what you were trying to say... sorry if that is the case!

Ping back with your further concerns

I know that

CODE

[url=http://address]name[/url]

is proper syntax, and i know how to replace in php, but i was going to do it both ways, so if sombody dosnt care if the link text is the same as the url, all they would have to do is

CODE

[url=address]address[/url]

and convert it to

CODE

[url=http://address]address[/url]

, but if not then i could easly create somthing else.

edit: putting code in code tages

No clue what you are asking for. But i guess you are asking for how to display the <a href ...... tag also in your page.
There are lots of special chars in HTML which has to be represented with special codes like &nbsp for space.
refer w3schools.com for the corresponding codes for the special characters in your content to be displayed
