How To Automatically Make URLs Posted In A Forum Active Links?
I've been working on modifying a forum script for some time now and its almost ready to go. You can test it at http://www.designlaunchpad.com/forum if you like. The one additional feature I want to implement is the automatic creation of a link when someone posts a URL in their message. Most forums have this, is it that tough to add in? I'm pretty comfortable editing PHP and understanding what is happening where but I suck at authoring it. I checked the manual at php.net and tried searching this forum and google but keep running into dead ends. So can someone offer me some suggestions or point me toward some help?

Text Input Box Automatically Escapes Quotation Mark
Text Input Box Automatically Escapes Quotation Mark

The text input box below works fine with text. However, when a single or double quotation mark (i.e. ' or ") is entered the code below outputs an escape mark. For example, if the word DevShed is entered into the text box then executed the code simply outputs the word DevShed. But if the word DevShed is put in quotation marks, like so "DevShed", and executed the code outputs the following: "DevShed".

My question is this: How can I keep the PHP code from automatically escaping quotation marks when the form text input box is executed?

How To Make Text Wrap In Table Cells?
I don't understand this at all. I have a table with fixed width and height in pixels. Yet when I place a long text string in a cell, the cell expands as far as needed to the right or left to fit the string on one line. This is driving me quite mad. How do I ensure that a long string is displayed in a neat, orderly fashion? My question has nothing to go with wrapping text around images. I just simply need to have text wrapped!

How To Make Text Area Recognize Hyperlinks?
I built a simple form where a user can enter and post news items to his
site (with PHP, into MySQL). He doesn't know much HTML.

Is there some way he can enter some simple text to declare something a
hyperlink, and have PHP recognize that that means "make this text into a
hyperlink"?

....so that instead of having to type this into the textarea:

<a href="http://www.somesite.com">somesite</a>

....he could type something more intuitive, like this:

<somesite.com>somesite</somesite.com>?

How Do You Query A Db From Link Text?
I was wondering how I would go about doing this. I would like to return some items from a database depending on what a user clicked. I would like to just use the link text that was clicked on. Then I would search through one field in each record to see if it matched that text, if so, I would display it.

I'm not sure how I could give each link a value though. I would like someway to get the link's text and use that to search a database.

Thanks in advance for all the help!!!

Converting Www Text To A Link

How can i remove a URL link from a form text field or the area where results are posted when a user enters http://www.mywhateversite.com. For example, here on this site.

How To Change Template Menu Link Text Color For Page Currently Viewed ??
Say you have a left menu that stays the same on every page within in your site. Obviously you would make this menu a template or library item, so that when you edit one version, all the others are updated.

Let's say the left menu is the following:

Page_1
Page_2
Page_3

Now, when I am viewing Page_1, I want the "Page_1" text in the left menu to be red, so that the viewer knows what page they are on. When I click on the left menu link for "Page_2", then I want the "Page_1" text to go back to black and the "Page_2" text to be red.

Dynamic Download Link - Not Direct File Link
I'm posting a podcast feed that makes reference to audio files for download.

Run Program Automatically
I want to create the option for my clients to create their own e-mail address. When I do this in Telnet, I have to run the command 'vadduser' It then asks me for a username, I want to assign this automatically. (1,2,3,4 etc etc)

It then asks me for a password, I want this to be something the user has already given in a form (before the script was run). It then has to be retyped. Those two things can be done automatically. It then asks if I want to assign a disk quota (YES) and then asks for the number of megabytes (1) That's it. Are there any examples available of how to do this?

Best Way To Automatically Log Out After Certain Time
What is the best practice for automatically logging out users after certain amount time after the last page request?

Is this a php job or a javascript job? It seems that javascript can't be relied on, and that php might have to store something in a database.

Perhaps the php version could use a $_session var. I could be reset every page request and compared. But then that wouldn't change the browser display. Maybe a mixture of php and javascript?

How Do I Reduce An Image Automatically?
I did a script that generates a thumb of the normal image( is not well a thumb, why the image is great ), but the matter is that I catch the image size, I multiply by 70 and divide for 100 to generate an image a little smaller of the original. That I happens wanted this image was generated with a maximum size.

Example: If I have an image with 1536px and do that process, she stays with 1075px. But I wanted her to get at most with 500px. How Could I do that?( If I decrease the 70 the smaller images stay very small )
