url question.

I'm writing a guest book where users can post comments.

When the text data is displayed on html page, I'd like to convert the
url's to clickable links, using some smart technique.

eg.

Hi I found this link! http://news.bbc.co.uk

(the link should be clickable)

or anything prefixed with www. should be clickable

Is there any built in php function?

Thanks
Mike
