LinkIcons are an optional new feature of PhpWiki. When activated, icons will be displayed in front of URLs to indicate the type of link.

[1] http link
[2] generic internet link
[3] InterWiki link
[4] https link
[5] mailto link
[6] ftp link

'Note': Some of the default icons use the alpha channel feature of the [[|http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/png-sitemap.html PNG]] image format for smooth rendering on any page color or textured background. Older browsers may not display all the images properly.

==Examples == The following examples will display with the above link icons only if the administrator has enabled this feature.

=== InterWiki links

=

InterWiki link PhpWiki:InterWiki %%%
A named InterWiki [[Wiki:WhyWikiWorks|read WhyWikiWorks at c2|]].

===URLs

=

Email address [mailing list|]%%%
Normal http link [[|http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/ PhpWiki's Home Page]]%%%
Secure http link [[|https://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/ PhpWiki's Home Page]] %%%
File transfer ftp://ftp.sourceforge.net/ %%%

A generic icon is shown for other less common link types.%%%

[[7]] %%%
gopher://gopher.caltech.cmu.edu %%%

LinkIcons will only display when the URL protocol is one which PhpWiki is allowed to link to. The following examples won't show any icons and PhpWiki won't automatically provide double-clickable links either, unless the administrator adds them:

bogus://oedipus.nostradamus.com %%%
bolo://lgm.cheshire.org
