Yet Another Simple Tool

Hi everyone,
some time ago I had a set of link titles and wanted to get HTML tags for them. Actually I wanted to get from

Code:

example link

to

Code:

<a href="http://www.example.com/example-link.html">example link</a>

and that's exactly what http://www.linkspill.com tool does.

Looking forward for you thumbs up/down and constructive criticism.

It's PHP based (running on linux of course

. I'm sure same thing is possible by some awk/sed magic, but i wanted somehting more visual.

Enjoy!

Hmm, my test-fish

Code:

><(((°>

results in this thing:

Code:

<a href="http://www.example.com/><(((°>" >><(((°></a><br />

Obviously not the correct result. Use urlencode() on the hyperlink part and htmlspecialchars() on the description part to make it robust for such cases.
