Substr for array in preg_replace

I want to trim ** from text. If content include **text** - than is bold

$find = array('/\*\*(.*)\*\*/', '/@(\\w+)/');
$replace = array('<span style="font-weight:bold">$0</span>', '<a href=/profile/$1>@$1</a>');
$result = preg_replace($find, $replace, $content);

but now it looks like: ** bold **

Replace $0 by $1 in your replace array:

$replace = array('<span style="font-weight:bold">$1</span>', '<a href=/profile/$1>@$1</a>');
//                                        here __^^

You'd better use the following instead of a greedy match:

$find = array('/\*\*([^*]+)\*\*/', '/@(\\w+)/');
