Seems to me your forgetting Http:// in front of the url causing links to become relative instead of absolute

The code is fine. It looks for http://... or https://... in the string itself for conversion links: Example:echo convert_to_links("Check out my great site - http://example.com")

@Jamie_d, the code is not fine... if - per the OP's example - the string "Check out my great site - www.example.com" is entered (missing https?), it will not be added to the resulting conversion and thus will be interpreted as a relative link (the result is:Check out my great site - <a href="www.example.com" target="_blank">www.example.com</a>)

Let me rephrase. The code is fine for converting a sub-string which contains an absolute URL, which is what the function is intended to do.
