Topic awaiting preservation: Auto-linking question... (Page 1 of 1)

Not sure if this should be here or in server-side scripting.

Can anyone enlighten me on where to find a simple script that will turn any word in a page into a pre-defined link, thus adding relevant anchor tag information automatically?

Also, is there a type of script of this nature that can be implemented into a already-made website?

TIA

Ah, you're talking about regular expressions- I suggest you understand the code you're hacking before you try to rip a script that was written by someone else. You just might a learn a thing or two!

try looking in here: Format URL in text string function..

Thanks for the links Petskull. Ultimately, I was trying to find an engine of sorts that would recognize a certain keyword or phrase - not necessarily an absolute URL (for instance "contact us"), and replace all instances of this keyword throughout a page with a predetermined anchor link. Basically a script that converts a keyword into a link automatically. Postnuke has a module that does this, yet I can't seem to find a standalone script that can be merged with a site.

Here is a more in depth description of what I am talking about:
