This will not necessarily work every single time, nor will it ONLY work 
on images, but I tried -- maybe it can help you.  So why don't you test 
it out on maybe ten or so different image URLs.  If it works, go with 
it, but I accept no liability.  (Also, this regex has not been optimized 
for speed -- sorry, I don't have time to play with it.)

$text = "http://www.domain.com/directory/images/image.jpg";
preg_replace("(http://[^<>\s]+[-a-zA-Z0-9_/.]+\.(gif|jpg|jpeg)$)", "<img 
src=\"\1\" />", $text);
