Parsing urls in a script

[liam_d]

Hi all i have this;

	//urls	
	$chr_limit = '45';
	$add = '...';
	
	$view = preg_replace("!(http:/{2}[\w\.]{2,}[/\w\-\.\?\&\=\#]*)!e", "'<a href=\"\\1\" title=\"\\1\" target=\"_blank\">'.(strlen('\\1')>=$chr_limit ? substr('\\1',0,$chr_limit).'$add':'\\1').'</a>'", $view);

Although that doesn't parse urls if there is no http://, can anyone modify that or create one like it to handle urls with the http:// ?

Thanks!
