javascript - Twitter "@" and "#" linking in PHP -

i trying convert @ , # links when placing code website.

i found jquery code looks use regex search @ , # unsure of how accomplish same thing using php.

the code is:

  at: function(tweet) {     return tweet.replace(/\b[@＠]([a-za-z0-9_]{1,20})/g, function(m, username) {       return '<a target="_blank" class="twtr-atreply" href="http://twitter.com/intent/user?screen_name=' + username + '">@' + username + '</a>';     });   },    hash: function(tweet) {     return tweet.replace(/(^|\s+)#(\w+)/gi, function(m, before, hash) {       return before + '<a target="_blank" class="twtr-hashtag" href="http://twitter.com/search?q=%23' + hash + '">#' + hash + '</a>';     });   }, 

so if had this:

@bobbarker going #blahblah , @billybob 

i need search out , following:

<a target="_blank"     class="twtr-atreply"     href="http://twitter.com/intent/user?screen_name=bobbarker'">@bobbarker </a>  <a target="_blank"     class="twtr-atreply"     href="http://twitter.com/intent/user?screen_name=billybob'">@billybob </a> 

likewise hash tag:

#blahblah 

i need search out , following:

<a target="_blank"     class="twtr-hashtag"     href="http://twitter.com/search?q=%23blahblah">#blahblah </a> 

any great!

update

i put php job @ finding first instant of either @ or # doesnt keep looping. how set loop it?

$thetweet = "@bobbarker going #blahblah , @billybob";  if (preg_match("/\b[@＠]([a-za-z0-9_]{1,20})/", $thetweet, $matches)) {     $thetweet = str_replace($matches[0],'<a target="_blank" class="twtr-atreply" href="http://twitter.com/intent/user?screen_name=' . trim($matches[0]) . '"> ' . trim($matches[0]) . '</a> ',$thetweet);     echo $thetweet . '<br />'; }  if (preg_match("/(^|\s+)#(\w+)/", $thetweet, $matches)) {     $thetweet = str_replace($matches[0],'<a target="_blank" class="twtr-hashtag" href="http://twitter.com/search?q=%23' . trim($matches[0]) .
