Turn Absolute paths into relative paths

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
If you link to an image with an absolute path
http://website.com/timthumb.php?src=http://www.website.com/image.png note
the www triggers an error in many browsers as it's treated as an external
source.

I recommend some sort of preg_replace to ignore url and use ONLY relative
paths. Cross-domain linking doesn't work anyways, so why not have the
script ignore this and process as a relative link:

(this could obviously be simplified and improved, but this works and you
get the point: 

// sort out image source
$src = get_request("src", "");
$src = preg_replace('@(https?://([-\w\.]+)+(:\d+)?(/([\w/_\.]*?)?)?)@',
'/', $src);

absolute paths should work fine now, as do some external domains :)

try the latest version and let me know how you get on.

Looks great, i like checkExternal() that will make it easy to extend and work 
with!
Thanks!
