How hard would it be to modify for hashtags?

EDIT: I did it. Just changed the

's to #'s and the link format. Thanks again.

Modify yours to be:

PHP Code:


			
<?php



$pattern = array('/@([A-Za-z0-9_]*)/');

$replace = array('@<a href="http://twitter.com/$1">$1</a>');

$subject = "@mrheadrick i think i @some_guy figured it out on my own!";



echo preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $subject);

?>

That 1 in the function call limits it to 1 replacement so take that out unless that is what you intended. This also works with underscores in the name. So here now is my new code and results:

PHP Code:


			
<?php

function twitterify($tweet) {

    //CONVERT *://.* TO LINK (EG HTTP://KEVINSMITHDESIGNS.COM)

    $tweet = ereg_replace("[a-zA-Z]+://([.]?[a-zA-Z0-9_/-])*", '<a href="\\0" target="_blank">\\0</a>', $tweet);

    //CONVERT *://*.* TO LINK (EG HTTP://WWW.KEVINSMITHDESIGNS.COM)

    $tweet = ereg_replace("(^| )(www([.]?[a-zA-Z0-9_/-])*)", '<a href="\\1\\2" target="_blank">\\1\\2</a>', $tweet);

    //LINK @USERNAME

    $tweet = preg_replace('/([\.|\,|\:|\¡|\¿|\>|\{|\(]?)@{1}(\w*)([\.|\,|\:|\!|\?|\>|\}|\)]?)\s/i', '$1@<a href="http://twitter.com/$2" target="_blank">$2</a>$3 ', $tweet);

    return $tweet;

}



$tweet = "@mrheadrick Hey @mozunk! Go check out http://digsby.com -- http://www.markheadrick.com I think you will like it. @robmonroe";

echo twitterify($tweet)."<br>\n";

// add extra space this time



echo rtrim(twitterify($tweet.' '))."<br>\n";



// rob's bit

$pattern = array('/@([A-Za-z0-9_]*)/');

$replace = array('@<a href="http://twitter.com/$1">$1</a>');

$subject = "@mrheadrick i think i @some_guy figured it out on my own!";



echo preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $subject);



?>

HTML Output:

Cool.. anyway, thanks for pointing me to that code.. made it easier for me.

**fury** · February 9th, 2009, 5:39 PM

Yeah I just found an example on PHP.net and tried to modify it to fit my needs. Didn't read too deeply into it. That's how I learn most of my stuff.. I just modify other snippets to meet my needs. Thanks for your help. It's for my daily digest of tweets, an example can be seen here with the new code

http://www.robmonroe.net/twitter/tes..._mytwitter.php

May need to find a new symbol to use for the link to the tweet at the end of the line now since hashtags link...

Just wanted to peep in... if you're using an embed script or something that doesn't do parsing, it can be done with JavaScript too.

Viviti Tip: Twitter status parsing - Mike Haugland

All you'd have to do is put the tweet text in a class of "tweet_text", add the code from the link.
