Regular expression replacement has to be the way to go. In perl I would 
do something like:

-------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

$x = '/546/guy/datasource/./../email/sendtoafriend/';
$x =~ s|(.*)/datasource/./../(.*)|http://darkside$1/$2|;
print $x;
-------------------------------------------------------

I am sure PHP can do something similar, perhaps using ereg_replace().
