Converting text links into html links

Hi folks, had a question about CodeIgniter's typography library...

Using $this->typography->auto_typography('some string here'); ... if the string contains URLs, it will _sometimes_ translate those URLs into hyperlinks, which is the desired behavior for me. But only for some links.

Am I missing something? I want that to happen for ALL links.

Example of URL that works: http://www.google.com/
Example of URL that does NOT work: http://sometest.yourname.com/

Thanks...

-- EDIT --

Sorry, it's LATE... I am using auto_link() in one spot, but not another. Ignore me :o)

try this old thread for a complete new auto_link solution i am still using to this day - it fixes the problem you mention and offers a WAY better auto_link functionality (I do not understand why it was not moved to the core, but back then it was a lot harder to get things into CI core):

Thanks, sophistry! I'll check that out if I run into any issues.

The following code is what I'm using, and I haven't seen any issues yet:

Code:
<?php echo $this->typography->auto_typography(auto_link($ticket->description)); ?>
