Ereg_replace to preg_replace Lep

Question

How would I make these two previous ereg_replace expressions work with preg_match?

http://([.]?[a-zA-Z0-9_/-])*|

and

(^| |\n)(www([.]?[a-zA-Z0-9_/-])*)

adding code from comment

preg_replace("http://([.]?[a-zA-Z0-9_/-])*", "<a href=\"\\0\" target=\"_blank\">\\0</a>"

which part is not working, so far i see its all compatible. maybe i am mistaken — DevZer0, Aug 06 '13 at 04:49
So this should work then? preg_replace("http://([.]?[a-zA-Z0-9_/-])*", "\\0", $message); — user2352040, Aug 06 '13 at 05:02

Just add delimiter arround the regex:

http://([.]?[a-zA-Z0-9_/-])*

becomes

/http:\/\/([.]?[a-zA-Z0-9_\/-])*/

or, better

~http://([.]?[a-zA-Z0-9_/-])*~

Same for the second one:

(^| |\n)(www([.]?[a-zA-Z0-9_/-])*)

becomes:

~(^| |\n)(www([.]?[a-zA-Z0-9_/-])*)~
