you don't understant what i want...
in many forum's they want to reply in post to show a link to download the file or any other... ok how they do that? how they hide a link? (i don't remember one forum to show what i mean!!)

Let me see, if I get this right.
You want to be able to post a link in your own reply to something, but it's first when someone replies to your post with your orriginal link inside the [ quote][/ quote] in their post, your link is made active ??

This can be done with the code used to show the contence within the [ quote][/ quote] tags, just only parse the text through your automatic link converter, if the text is appearing between the [ quote][/ quote] tags.

PHP Code:

<?php
function ShowLinks($Text, $show=1)
{
//  First match things beginning with http:// (or other protocols)
   $NotAnchor = '(?<!"|href=|href\s=\s|href=\s|href\s=)';
   $Protocol = '(http|ftp|https):\/\/';
   $Domain = '[\w]+(.[\w]+)';
   $Subdir = '([\w\-\.,@?^=%&:\/~\+#]*[\w\-\@?^=%&\/~\+#])?';
   $Expr = '/' . $NotAnchor . $Protocol . $Domain . $Subdir . '/i';
    if($show)
       $replace = "<a href=\"$0\" title=\"$0\" target=\"_blank\">$0</a>";
    else
        $replace = "";
   $Result = preg_replace( $Expr, $replace, $Text );

//  Now match things beginning with www.
   $NotAnchor = '(?<!"|href=|href\s=\s|href=\s|href\s=)';
   $NotHTTP = '(?<!:\/\/)';
   $Domain = 'www(.[\w]+)';
   $Subdir = '([\w\-\.,@?^=%&:\/~\+#]*[\w\-\@?^=%&\/~\+#])?';
   $Expr = '/' . $NotAnchor . $NotHTTP . $Domain . $Subdir . '/i';
    if($show)
       $replace = "<a href=\"http://$0\" title=\"http://$0\" target=\"_blank\">$0</a>";
    else
        $replace = "";

   return preg_replace( $Expr, $replace, $Result );
} 
echo ShowLinks("some www.domain.com that won't show up", 0);
echo "<br>";
echo ShowLinks("some www.domain.com that will show up");
?>

Just use it with the "0" parsed, when it has to do with text referenced within the orriginal post, and not a quoted former post within a post.
