Use the function is_url (note that I haven't written it) instead to check if
the link is a URL.
Not only your method may count some links twice, but it will count wrong
URLs also.
<a href='www.externaldomainnamehere.com'>External</a> is not a URL that will
take someone externally.
Below is the function is_url
function is_url($url) { return
preg_match('#^http\\:\\/\\/[a-z0-9\-]+\.([a-z0-9\-]+\.)?[a-z]+#i', $url);}
taken from this link:

Hmm, it does only take http links, not https,ftp, etc.
