yes. you can remove the www.
actually, you can try two different things. try these variations on your
theme. () allows you to group things and refer back to the grouping as \1 \2
\3 ...

C:\>php
<?php
$text = "http://www.mysite.com/this/that";
$text = ereg_replace('[[:alpha:]]+://([^<>[:space:]"\']+[[:alnum:]/_.-]+)',
"<a href=\"\\0\">\\1</a>", $text);
print $text;
?>
^Z
<a href="http://www.mysite.com/this/that">www.mysite.com/this/that</a>
C:\>php
<?php
$text = "http://www.mysite.com/this/that";
$text =
ereg_replace('[[:alpha:]]+://[^<>[:space:]"\'/]+(/[[:alnum:]/_.-]*)?', "<a
href=\"\\0\">\\1</a>", $text);
print $text;
?>
^Z
<a href="http://www.mysite.com/this/that">/this/that</a>
