Autolink

I have a question. How a can do autolink? For example, if I wrote 'INTEL', it must changing on the www.intel.com.
But if I wrote Intel Pentium it mustn`t change.

okay here is what I have done for my site, and you can see it other places...

I have a table, call it tags. In the table I have two rows, tag, and replace, or something to that affect. In the tag row I place
<a href="
then I have another one
">
and one more
</a>

now in replace, I have
[link], [midlink], [/link]

in the page, I use

and finally, in the text you want to replace the tag in,



Now the user basically writes this when they want a link:

[link]www.intel.com[midlink]Intel.com[/link]

I jsut placed a link, and this isn't what devarticles does... but it will look like this anyway!

intel.com\

this is useful for other replacing methods, which is why I use it, although a quicker way of linking would be better maybe. But this is what I do.

Thank. But...
If I write Intel Pentium then script will show intel Pentium, but I need that if I want say about company it must change, but if write about company product it mustn`t change.

And also, how I can do that in the final os story script write last news on this topic. For example, If write about Intel company script must wtite last news about Intel.

okay, well with the metod I descrived, it wouldn't change intel pentium to intel pentium, only if you wrote:
[link]http://www.intel.com[midlink]intel[/link] pentium...
get it? It depends on repacing the bracketed words with html...
an dI really didn't understand your second question, can you try to clarify? thanks

Yes, of course. My english is bad, sorry

I wanted say: "Related topics"

For example, as on www.theinquirer.net, where in the final of story script put links on news of that subject.

Look: subject of article - "New processors from Intel" and in the end of story will be write :

"New processors from AMD"
"New chip from Intel"
e.t.c

Thank.

hmm I've never thought about it, but here is my guess:

i would say that if this is news you are CREATING, just have a news title (which I'm sure you would anyway), and after you have set all that up, do this query:



this should query the table for titles similar to the one you
already queried for. If a user were to search, simply use the search terms instead of the $title. Hope this helps, and works. I have never thought of it before, I think I should do something like this!

Ok. Thank.
But I decided, that i will use else one field - meta. When author publish news, he must obliged to fill in a field Meta.
When he will posting script sends query to MySQL.
News with identical meta will write bellow.

How are you think: what more preferable for news storage: text(*.php, *.html, *.txt) file or database?


Now I use text files but I think that better is a MySQL.

hmm, i don't know much about the differences between text and database. but I'l go start a thread for us on it, cause I'm interested also!
edit:
here is the link to the thread:
text vs database

I will use and database and text file.

Thank you thecharking

Now I am ready to the next feats

Oh, look here

$topic_title = "How change button colors in 2.0.6";
$topic_title_ar = explode(" ", $topic_title);
while (list ($line_num, $line) = each ($topic_title_ar)) {
$topic_title_some =
trim("$line");
}

where mistakes?

sorry i'm not very good at php, that didn't make much sense to me... uh, what does it do? does it give errors? you may need to enlist someone a bit more proficient in php... sorry.

nothing...
Thank you.
You helped me.
