How to create an hyperlink in a paragraph using php

I would like to create hyperlinks to the words in a paragraph.

For instance if the "Jim Carrey" name is in the array matches the word in string, then the Jim Carrey name should be in Hyperlink of "www.domian.net/name(Jim Carrey)" . If the "mask" word in the array matches the word in string then it should be replace with corresponding url like "www.domian.net/mask"

<?php 

$string="Jim Carrey found the new Mask";

$array=array("Jim Carrey","mask");

echo preg_replace( '/\b('.implode( '|', $array ).')\b/i', '<a href=" ">$1</a>', $string  );

?>

You seem to have the right idea about how to put a link around the chosen text, but you seem to have not even tried to put in an href. Which is a shame, since it's as simple as typing in the URL with whatever parameter you want.

However, it does get a little complicated because you don't want the same thing both times (you want the literal word in one, but you want name(WORD) in the other). You could try this:

$array = array("Jim Carrey"=>"name(Jim Carrey)","mask"=>"mask");
echo preg_replace_callback("/\b".implode("|",array_keys($array))."\b/i",
   function($m) use ($array) {
       return "<a href=\"http://domain.net/".$array[$m]."\">".$m."</a>";
   },$string);

<?php

$string="Jim Carrey found the new Mask";

$arr=array("Jim Carrey","Mask");

foreach($arr as $val)
    $string = str_replace($val, '<a href="http://domain.com/' . $val . '">' . $val . '</a>', $string);

echo $string;
?>
