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!
