use auto_link() in the url helper
Code:
echo auto_link('I really love codeigniter visit http://codeigniter.com');http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/helpers/url_helper.html

@bubbafoley
thanks! I didn't know CI have that features. :vampire:
anyway I got also alternative solution:
Code:
$content = $this->input->post('discussion_content', TRUE);
$find_url = preg_replace('@(https?://([-\w\.]+)+(:\d+)?(/([\w/_\.]*(\?\S+)?)?)?)@', '<a href="$1" target="_blank">$1</a>', $content);almost same but yours is easier. =) thanks again!
