How to replace plain URLs with links in JavaScript or PHP?

Hello Friends

If you want to convert plain text in to URLs in JavaScript or PHP. This is good solution for you.

In PHP :

public function makeLinks($str)
{
    $reg_exUrl = "/(http|https|ftp|ftps)\:\/\/[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,3}(\/\S*)?/";
    $urls = array();
    $urlsToReplace = array();
    if(preg_match_all($reg_exUrl, $str, $urls)) {
        $numOfMatches = count($urls[0]);
        $numOfUrlsToReplace = 0;
        for($i=0; $i<$numOfMatches; $i++) {
            $alreadyAdded = false;
            $numOfUrlsToReplace = count($urlsToReplace);
            for($j=0; $j<$numOfUrlsToReplace; $j++) {
                if($urlsToReplace[$j] == $urls[0][$i]) {
                    $alreadyAdded = true;
                }
            }
            if(!$alreadyAdded) {
                array_push($urlsToReplace, $urls[0][$i]);
            }
        }
        $numOfUrlsToReplace = count($urlsToReplace);
        for($i=0; $i<$numOfUrlsToReplace; $i++) {
            $str = str_replace($urlsToReplace[$i], "<a target='_balnk' href=\"".$urlsToReplace[$i]."\">".$urlsToReplace[$i]."</a> ", $str);
        }
        return $str;
    } else {
        return $str;
    }
}

In JavaScript

function makeLinks(text) {
 var exp = /(\b(https?|ftp|file):\/\/[-A-Z0-9+&@#\/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[-A-Z0-9+&@#\/%=~_|])/ig;
 return text.replace(exp,"<a target='_blank' href='$1'>$1</a>");
}

Hope it helps.

Prevent Your CSS and JavaScript Files From Being Cached

Some websites use highly volatile, oft-changing CSS and JavaScript files. In the case of these files, it’s important that the developer prevent browsers from caching them. How do we do that? By using a phantom querystring, of course. We’ll use PHP to tack the current time onto the file reference.

The PHP

<link href="/stylesheet.css?<?php echo time(); ?>" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" >
<-- RENDERS -->
<link href="/stylesheet.css?1234567890" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

<script type="text/javascript" src="/site-script.js?<?php echo time(); ?>"></script>
<-- RENDERS -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="/site-script.js?1234567890"></script>

It’s a very simple technique and doesn’t affect your CSS or JavaScript code in any way.

Android Detection with JavaScript or PHP

Hello Friends

You have a web application and you want to detect that if your Application is opened from android device than it will be redirect to any other URL that will be Android compatible.This is a good solution for you.

What’s obvious is that Android development is a hot topic that will only grow. Here are a few methods by which you can detect iOS‘ main competitor: Android.

The JavaScript

Searching the user agent string for “Android” is the quickest method:

var ua = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
var isAndroid = ua.indexOf("android") > -1; //&& ua.indexOf("mobile");
if(isAndroid)
{
// Do something! // Redirect to Android-site? window.location = 'http://android.viralsolani.co';
}

The PHP

Again, we’ll use PHP’s strstr function to search for Android in the user agent:

$ua = strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
if(stripos($ua,'android') !== false){// && stripos($ua,'mobile') !== false) {
header('Location: http://android.viralsolani.co');
exit();
}

Bonus! .htaccess Detection

We can even use .htaccess directives to detect and react to Android devices!

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*Android.*$
 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://android.viralsolani.co [R=301]

And there you have it: three different Android device detection! Have fun with your mobile development!
