PHP Question - been bugging me for a while :/

This has been bugging me for a while, the function of it is to allow a user to input an @ to someone's profile, and it hyperlink there.

The user enters their input "@userinput" which will then change to '<a href="userinput"> userinput </a>'.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, my attempts can be seen below.

My attempts.

Code:
preg_match('#(?>\@)(\w*)#', $string, $matches);
 foreach($matches as $row){
 $string = preg_replace('#(?>\@)(\w*)#', '<a href="'.$row.'"> '. $row . "</a>", $string);
 }

Code:
$string = preg_replace('#\@(.*)#', '<b><a href="=$1"=> @$1 </a></b>', $string);
