Returns the previous URL the current visitor was on. For security reasons
we first check in a saved session variable, if it exists, and use that.
If that's not available, however, we'll use a sanitized url from $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']
which can be set by the user so is untrusted and not set by certain browsers/servers.
Automatically links URL and Email addresses.
Note: There's a bit of extra code here to deal with
URLs or emails that end in a period. We'll strip these
off and add them after the link.
Parameters
string
$str
the string
string
$type
the type: email, url, or both
boolean
$popup
whether to create pop-up links
Returns
string
prep_url()
prep_url(string $str = '') : string
Prep URL - Simply adds the http:// part if no scheme is included.
Formerly used URI, but that does not play nicely with URIs missing
the scheme.
