Answer 1

You guyz are talking way to advance and complex stuff which is good for some situation, but mostly we need a simple careless solution. How about simply this?

preg_replace('/(http[s]{0,1}\:\/\/\S{4,})\s{0,}/ims', '$1 ', $text_msg);

Just try it and let me know what crazy url it doesnt satisfy.
