This messy, but effective, addlinks() PHP function I wrote many years ago for the man pages has been working well over the years and continues to work well today. The only recent change is to add class="neo-man-link" to the links:

Code:

function addlinks($output,$os,$section='',$origin=''){
    global $vbulletin, $col2_f;
    $style = ' style="font-size:1.2em;" class="neo-man-link" ';
    if($_GET['apropos'] == '1' && $col2_f == '2')
    {
      define('REGEX7',"/(\w[-\:.\+\w]*)\s*\((\d)?(\w+)?\)/");
      $rep_string="<a $style href=\"/man-page/$os/$2$3/$1/\">$1($2$3)</a>";
    }
    elseif($_GET['apropos'] == '1' && $col2_f == '1')
    {
      define('REGEX7',"/(\w[\-\:.\+\w]*)\s*\(([0-9])\)/");
      $rep_string="<a $style href=\"/man-page/$os/$2/$1/\">$1($2)</a>";
      $set2=TRUE;
    }
    else
    {
      define('REGEX7',"/(\w[-\:.\+\w]*)\s*\((\d)(\w+)?\)/");
      $rep_string="<a $style href=\"/man-page/$os/$2$3/$1/\">$1($2$3)</a>";
    }

    if ($_GET['apropos'] == '1'){

            if($set2)
             {
              $save = $output;
              $out =preg_replace(REGEX7, $rep_string, $output);
              if(preg_match('/\d/',$output))
                  $output = strtolower($out);
              else
                  $output = $save;
             }
            else
              {
              $output =preg_replace(REGEX7, $rep_string, $output);
              }
            $output = trim($output);
     }
    else {
            if (preg_match("/(\w[\-\:\.\w]*)\((\d)(\w+)\)/",$output))
            {
                 $output=preg_replace(REGEX7, $rep_string, $output);
            }
            else 
            {
               $output=preg_replace("/(\w[\-\:\.\w]*)\((\d)\)/",
               "<a $style href=\"/man-page/$os/\\2/\\1/\">\\1(\\2)</a>",$output);
            }
        }
    $output=ltrim($output);
    return $output;
}

LEARN ABOUT PHP

eregi_replace

EREGI_REPLACE(3)							 1							  EREGI_REPLACE(3)

eregi_replace - Replace regular expression case insensitive

SYNOPSIS

       string eregi_replace (string  $pattern, string  $replacement, string  $string)

DESCRIPTION

	This function is identical to ereg_replace(3) except that this ignores case distinction when matching alphabetic characters.

       Warning

	      This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0. Relying on this feature is highly discouraged.

PARAMETERS

	      o $pattern
		- A POSIX extended regular expression.

	      o $replacement
		-  If  $pattern contains parenthesized substrings, $replacement may contain substrings of the form  digit, which will be replaced
		by the text matching the digit'th parenthesized substring;  will produce the entire contents of string. Up  to  nine	substrings
		may be used. Parentheses may be nested, in which case they are counted by the opening parenthesis.

	      o $string
		- The input string.

RETURN VALUES

	The modified string is returned. If no matches are found in $string, then it will be returned unchanged.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      Highlight search results

	      <?php
	      $pattern = '(>[^<]*)('. quotemeta($_GET['search']) .')';
	      $replacement = '\1<span class="search">\2</span>';
	      $body = eregi_replace($pattern, $replacement, $body);
	      ?>

NOTES

       Note

	      As  of PHP 5.3.0, the regex extension is deprecated in favor of the PCRE extension. Calling this function will issue an E_DEPRECATED
	      notice. See the list of differences for help on converting to PCRE.

       Tip

	      eregi_replace(3) is deprecated as of PHP 5.3.0. preg_replace(3) with the i ( PCRE_CASELESS) modifier is the suggested alternative.
