Question

I am using following code for convert url to hyperlink on text.But the problem is i want to use shorten title for hyperlink for example this is url http://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask?title=convert%20url%20to%20hyperlink%20on%20text%20as%20formatted and after convert like this :
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask?title=convert%20url%20to%20hyperlink%20on%20text%20as%20formatted
I want to this :
http://stackoverflow.com/...
This is my code :
$stringdata = preg_replace('|([\w\d]*)\s?(https?://([\d\w\.-]+\.[\w\.]{2,6})[^\s\]\[\<\>]*/?)|i', '$1 $2', $stringdata);
Title should be shorten but url should be same of original.
Thankyou.

Answer 1

You could always use parse_url found here
Here's an example:
$url = 'http://www.stackoverflow.com/questions/ask?title=convert%20url%20to%20hyperlink%20on%20text%20as%20formatted';
$splitUrl = parse_url($url);
echo '<a href="' . $url . '"/>' . $splitUrl['scheme'] . '://' . $splitUrl['host'] .'/... </a>';
parse_urlcreates an array from the URL provided.
UPDATE:
Using Mikael Roos answer at that link I came up with what you needed it to do.
function make_clickable($text) {
$regex = '#\bhttps?://[^\s()<>]+(?:\([\w\d]+\)|([^[:punct:]\s]|/))#';
return preg_replace_callback($regex, function ($matches) {
$splitUrl = parse_url($matches[0]);
return "<a href='{$matches[0]}'>{$splitUrl['scheme']}://{$splitUrl['host']}/..</a>";
}, $text);
}
echo make_clickable('Some odd text here that makes https://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask?title=convert%20url%20to%20hyperlink%20on%20text%20as%20formatted clickable');

try this
$var='http://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask?title=convert%20url%20to%20hyperlink%20on%20text%20as%20formatted';
$array=explode('/', $var);
$url=$array[0]."//".$array[2]."/...";
