Please ignore my last email re: your question. I realized that the negation
of the range containing the "@" would end up capturing unwanted characters.
As an alternative, try the following:
preg_match_all('/(?<!@)@(?!@)/','Some @ text with the @t sym@@bol @@@@ ',
$thing, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE);
print_r($thing);
Hope that's a little more relevant to your question.

Murray
