[RESOLVED] Create hyperlinks from text file

I am trying to make a script that reads urls from a text file.
The first line of the text file will contain the text that should be displayed on the webpage. The second line of the file will contain the actual link to the website. I have include the script so far. Thanks for the help.


Text File

First web page
www.firstpage.com
Second page
www.secondlink.com

VB Code:

<?php
 
function ConvertToLinks ($vert)
 
{
 
$vert = eregi_replace('([[:space:]()[{}])(www.[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\+.~#?&//=]+)','\\1<a href="http://\\2">\\2</a>', $vert);           
                     
                     
return $vert;
}
  
  
  
  
#***************************************

$filename = "text.txt";
$flepointer = fopen ($filename, "r") or die ("Could not open the file");
$contents = fread ($flepointer, filesize ($filename));
fclose($flepointer);
echo ConvertToLinks($contents);
 
 
 
?>

I have copied your code and it works for me. What part are you getting an error with?

Thanks for the reply
You are correct the code does work but want I am trying to do is make the firstline in the textfile the actual link and the second line is the website the link is pointing to. See the example below.


Text file
--------------
I read from the file
www.cnet.com
the second line
www.yahoo.com


Desired output
----------------
I read from the file
the second line

Any ideas.

Thanks

This may not be the best way to do it but it works. HTH :)

PHP Code:

---

$fc=file("text.txt");
$i = "0";
$s= "1";
$URLArray = $fc; //Make array out of text file

//loop through array using foreach
foreach($fc as $line) {
echo "<a href=\"http://$URLArray[$s]\">$URLArray[$i]</a><br>";

$i = $i +2;
$s = $s +2;
}

Thanks for the help

Your code does work but returns error. I will try to fix the errors.

What's the error? It worked fine for me.

Made some changes and got it to work. Thanks for the help

VB Code:

<?php
function ConvertToLinks ($vert)
 
{
$x=0;
$y=$x+1;
 
$textarrary = explode ("\n", $vert);
 
while($x < count($textarrary))
 
    {
    echo "<a href=\"http://$textarrary[$y]\">$textarrary[$x]</a><br>";
        $x=$x+2;
                          $y=$x+1;
    }       
     
     
         return $vert;
}
