php regular expressions
OK the code below acts like bbcode and does this link.
Could someone rewrite this where it would accept both the above and something like this --->> nameoflink
<?php
$bodytext = preg_replace(\"`\[url\](?:=http://)?(.*?)\[/url\]`\", '<a href=\"http://\1\">[url]http://\1[/url]</a>', $bodytext);
?>

$bodytext = preg_replace('#\[url\](http://|ftp://|mailto:)?(.*?)\[/url\]#ie',"'<a href=\"'.('\\1'==''?'http://':'\\1').'\\2\" target=\"_blank\">'.('\\1'==''?'http://':'\\1').'\\2</a>'",

@ Mark Hensler
Thank you so much, that worked just fine. Except you had a typo
Changes made in RED
$bodytext = preg_replace('#\[url=("|\ ')?(<a href="http://" class="bb-url">http://</a>|<a href="ftp://" class="bb-url">ftp://</a>|mailto:)?(.*?)(?(1)\1)\](.*?)\[/url\]#ie','the reason for the late reply is b/c I didn't receive an email notification...i dont' know why.

The forum software (for some unknown reason) has been forwarding me a lot of undeliverable mails as of late. So, I know quite a few subscription emails aren't getting sent. I intend to upgrade to vB3 once it goes stable, so we'll finally be rid of all these vB2 bugs.
Speaking of vB2 bugs... my code was fine (check the phps file linked above), but vB2 has a problem with escaped characters in code or php tags. For some reason, it doesn't escape the escape characters. Yet another quirk I've hated about vB2.
Glad you've got it working!
