WEll, Jeremy, though your code is good, but I think
mine is much better. since it can as well look for
stuff like : http://, and not XXwww.abc.com

here u are :

function scanText($text) { // this function is to scan
out any URL link and return it with the ahref link

         $before = $text;
         //print "before = $before<br>";
         $search = array ("/(\\bhttp*:\\/\\/(\\S+)\\b)/ie",
"/((\\s+)www(\\S+)\\b)/ie");
         $replace = array("' <a href=\\"\\\\1\\"
target=\\"_blank\\"
class=\\"indexMenu\\">'.trim('\\\\1').'</a> '", "' <a
href=\\"http://'.substr(trim('\\\\1'), 0,
strlen(trim('\\\\1'))).'\\" target=\\"_blank\\"
class=\\"indexMenu\\">http://'.substr(trim('\\\\1'), 0,
strlen(trim('\\\\1'))).'</a> '");
         $result = preg_replace ($search, $replace,
$before);

         return "$result ";

}

just pass your variables through this function and get
the link return.
