$string = preg_replace('@(https?://([-\w\.]+)+(:\d+)?(/([\w/_\.%-=#]*(\?\S+)?)?)?)@', '<a href="$1">$1</a>', $string);






Using Javascript

 <script>
function linkify(inputText) {
    var replacedText, replacePattern1, replacePattern2, replacePattern3;

     //URLs starting with http://, https://, or ftp://
    replacePattern1 = /(\b(https?|ftp):\/\/[-A-Z0-9+&@#\/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[-A-Z0-9+&@#\/%=~_|])/gim;
    replacedText = inputText.replace(replacePattern1, '<a href="$1" target="_blank">$1</a>');

     //URLs starting with "www." (without // before it, or it'd re-link the ones done above).
    replacePattern2 = /(^|[^\/])(www\.[\S]+(\b|$))/gim;
    replacedText = replacedText.replace(replacePattern2, '$1<a href="http://$2" target="_blank">$2</a>');

     return replacedText;
}
var textTest = 'Rajiv Uttamchandani is an astrophysicist, human rights activist, and entrepreneur. He is a currently a professor of physics at Palomar College in San Marcos, CA.

How To Create Shortcodes In WordPress

Write the Shortcode Function Write a function with a unique name, which will execute the code you’d like the shortcode to trigger: function techsudhir_hello_world_shortcode() {    return 'Hello world!'; } Example: [hello-world] If we were to use this function normally, it would return Hello world! as a string 2. Shortcode function with parameters function techsudhir_hello_world_shortcode( $atts ) {    $a = shortcode_atts( array(       'name' => 'world'    ), $atts );    return 'Hello ' . $a['name'] . !'; } Example: [hello-world name="Sudhir"] You can also call shortcode function in PHP using do_shortcode function Example: do_shortcode('[hello-world]');
