Regular Expression To Replace All Mentioned Name With Link

In twitter Rana vai gave me a code to replace all mentioned name with link like twitter. Check that.
There was 2 problem.

1. I anyone use '.' after mentioned name then there will be '.' in link.
2. There will be '@' in link.

Here is a function. I hope it will work perfectly

1. function link_from_at($string)
2. {
3.     $status = preg_replace("|@([a-zA-Z0-9]+)*|",'@<a href="\1">\1</a>',$string);
4.     return $status;
5. }

5.     return $array[0];
6. }
