Guys how to match this with PHP.

@sometext then how to strip @ from the string?

[dragonexpert]

Use the preg_replace function.

$somevariable = preg_replace("/([@]{1})([^\s]{1,})/is", "$2", $post['message']);

Note: The above code will not work with usernames that have spaces.

Thanks @Shade very much. Sorry but I am still learning more complex coding.
