It works on both snippets of HTML (or plain text) and complete HTML pages. There are many regex variations shared on the internet for performing this task, but few are robust. Linkify contains a large number of unit tests to counter this. It does not cover every possible valid-yet-never-used URLs and email addresses in order to handle 'real world' usage (eg no 'gopher://'). This means, for example, that it copes better with punctuation errors. Authors ------- [](#authors) - Chris Wilkinson It uses regex based on John Gruber's [Improved Liberal, Accurate Regex Pattern for Matching URLs](http://daringfireball.net/2010/07/improved_regex_for_matching_urls). Installation ------------ [](#installation) `composer require misd/linkify` Usage ----- [](#usage) ``` $linkify = new \Misd\Linkify\Linkify(); $text = 'This is my text containing a link to www.example.com.'; echo $linkify->process($text); ``` Will output: ``` This is my text containing a link to www.example.com. ``` ### Options [](#options) Options set on the constructor will be applied to all links. Alternatively you can place the options on a method call. The latter will override the former. ``` $linkify = new \Misd\Linkify\Linkify(array('attr' => array('class' => 'foo'))); $text = 'This is my text containing a link to www.example.com.'; echo $linkify->process($text); ``` Will output: ``` This is my text containing a link to www.example.com. ``` Whereas: ``` $linkify = new \Misd\Linkify\Linkify(array('attr' => array('class' => 'foo'))); $text = 'This is my text containing a link to www.example.com.'; echo $linkify->process($text, array('attr' => array('class' => 'bar'))); ``` Will output: ``` This is my text containing a link to www.example.com. ``` Available options are: #### `attr` [](#attr) An associative array of HTML attributes to add to the link. For example: ``` array('attr' => array('class' => 'foo', 'style' => 'font-weight: bold; color: red;') ``` #### `callback` [](#callback) A closure to call with each url match. The closure will be called for each URL found with three parameters: the url, the caption and a boolean `isEmail` (if `$isEmail` is true, then `$url` is equals to `$caption`. If the callback return a non-null value, this value replace the link in the resulting text. If null is returned, the usual `CAPTION` is used. ``` $linkify = new \Misd\Linkify\Linkify(array('callback' => function($url, $caption, $isEmail) { return '' . $caption . ''; })); echo $linkify->process('This link will be converted to bold: www.example.com.')); ``` ### Health Score 45 — FairBetter than 93% of packages Maintenance19 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity58 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community29 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity62 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 89.2% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window. **Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores. **Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement. **Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability. ### Release Activity Cadence Every ~354 days Recently: every ~436 days Total 6 Last Release 3196d ago ### Community Maintainers ![](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/6e6aaeba393e9038b5a5a916e5f4e32ffb349436e3be2027be4828f486bc8c9d?d=identicon)[thewilkybarkid](/maintainers/thewilkybarkid) --- Top Contributors [![thewilkybarkid](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1784740?v=4)](https://github.com/thewilkybarkid "thewilkybarkid (66 commits)")[![GrahamCampbell](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2829600?v=4)](https://github.com/GrahamCampbell "GrahamCampbell (2 commits)")[![edea](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1705717?v=4)](https://github.com/edea "edea (1 commits)")[![arthurdarcet](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/973454?v=4)](https://github.com/arthurdarcet "arthurdarcet (1 commits)")[![KaneCohen](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/578455?v=4)](https://github.com/KaneCohen "KaneCohen (1 commits)")[![miclf](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3188746?v=4)](https://github.com/miclf "miclf (1 commits)")[![jarofgreen](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/85656?v=4)](https://github.com/jarofgreen "jarofgreen (1 commits)")[![bartgloudemans](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/411451?v=4)](https://github.com/bartgloudemans "bartgloudemans (1 commits)") --- Tags urllinkconvertemail address ### Code Quality TestsPHPUnit ### Embed Badge ![Health badge](/badges/misd-linkify/health.svg) ``` [![Health](https://phpackages.com/badges/misd-linkify/health.svg)](https://phpackages.com/packages/misd-linkify) ``` ### Alternatives [jbroadway/urlify A fast PHP slug generator and transliteration library that converts non-ascii characters for use in URLs. 6737.4M62](/packages/jbroadway-urlify)[spatie/url Parse, build and manipulate URL's 73914.3M97](/packages/spatie-url)[league/uri-components URI components manipulation library 31932.3M67](/packages/league-uri-components)[nahid/linkify Converts URLs and email addresses in text into HTML links its extended from Misd\\Linify its also support laravel 5 11136.0k1](/packages/nahid-linkify)[sabre/uri Functions for making sense out of URIs. 29335.2M40](/packages/sabre-uri)[spomky-labs/base64url Base 64 URL Safe Encoding/Decoding PHP Library 15439.5M49](/packages/spomky-labs-base64url) PHPackages © 2026 [Directory](/)[Categories](/categories)[Trending](/trending)[Changelog](/changelog)[Analyze](/analyze)
