texte = I thought I'd ask everyone before I dive in and try some stuff... I have a site where I allow an administrator to post content/text to a db via a textarea. I want them to be able to post website URLs in the textarea and have the URL be a live link when it is displayed on the site. So in other words, I want to pull out URLs from a block of copy and make them live, clickable links when they are displayed on my web page. I would assume there's a way to do this, but I've never had to try it until now. A push in the right direction would be appreciated.
