in thread Reg expression to replace URLs with Anchor tags in Tweets

Oh, it wasn't clear that you were asking a php question so it wasn't clear that Perl answers were not appropriate - which is odd given that this is a Perl site. Perhaps you forgot to mark your question as off topic?

    Ok. I get it. No more Perl regex questions on Perl monks. Is it really so awful that I can use the same regex in PHP as in Perl?

    Sorry to have made everyone so angry.

      Why can't you go to cpan and copy the regex?

      Because PHP has PHP regex, not Perl regex. This site is perlmonks, about Perl, not PHP. Go visit phpmonks.org :)

      The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.

        Actually preg_replace in PHP uses Perl regex.

        I decided to post my question here because Perl Monks have been so great at helping me in the past.

        I really was just trying to figure out a Perl regex, so sorry to have upset so many Monks. Next time I won't mention that the Perl knowledge I acquire here can be used by any other programming languages, or that any programming languages even exist.

        Thanks everyone.
