I missed the original post, so forigive me if I miss the point here...

To use regexps to figure out if a supplied address begins with the
proper formatting, you could use the following:

if (!eregi("^http",$URL)) {
$URL="http://".$URL; }

This tells PHP that if $URL does not start with "http" to insert
"http://" If you are trying to auto-generate <A HREF... tags and
don't have confidence that the person/people supplying the
address(es) are going to be typing the "http://" this ereg check is
a fast and simple solution.

Good luck...
