well i figured out my own way of doing this cos the problem kept
bugging me and ive added her for anyone else who is interested. if
anyone else knows of a more efficient way id love to hear it. im not
sure but i think exploading a string then searching each array value
might be bettered by a function that just performed a search and
replace on the string.

$para1 = "sdfsdf dsf dsfsd www.dsafads.com";
$para1_arr = explode(' ',$para1);
$i = 0;
foreach ($para1_arr as $value) {
$newarr[$i] = $value;
if (strstr($value, 'www.') != FALSE) {
$value = "<a href='http://$value'>$value</a>";
$newarr[$i] = $value;
}
$i = $i + 1;
}
$para1 = implode(' ', $para1);
