I have a textarea in a form to collect user message to a database. When the entry is stored to database all html tags are converted into text.
Users can include any number of URLs in the message. With my current settings all the URLs will be printed on the webpage as static character strings (i.e., they are not "clickable.").
I wonder how I could make those URLs become clickable links when the message is retrieved from database and printed on a webpage, using purely PHP coding?
