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 &amp;lt; and i relpace > with &amp;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 &gt; and &lt; 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
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 and convert it to , 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
