问题
I am trying to replace 2.0 to stack,
but the following code replace 2008 to 2.08
Following is my code:
$string = 'The story is inspired by the Operation Batla House that took place in 2008 ';
$tag = '2.0';
$pattern = '/(\s|^)'.($tag).'(?=[^a-z^A-Z])/i';
echo preg_replace($pattern, '2.0', $string);

Use preg_quote and make sure you pass the regex delimiter as the second argument:
$string = 'The story is inspired by the Operation Batla House that took place in 2008 ';
$tag = '2.0';
$pattern = '/(\s|^)' . preg_quote($tag, '/') . '(?=[^a-zA-Z])/i';
// ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
echo preg_replace($pattern, '2.0', $string);
The string is not modified. See the PHP demo. The regex delimiter here is /, thus it is passed as the 2nd parameter to preg_quote.
Note that [^a-z^A-Z] matches any chars but ASCII letters and ^ since you added the second ^ in the character class. I changed [^a-z^A-Z] to [^a-zA-Z].
Also, the capturing group at the start may be replaced with a single lookbehind, (?<!\S), it will make sure your match occurs only at the string start or after a whitespace.
If you expect to also match at the end of the string, replace (?=[^a-zA-Z]) (that requires a char other than a letter immediately to the right of the current location) with (?![a-zA-Z]) (that requires a char other than a letter or end of string immediately to the right of the current location).
So, use
$pattern = '/(?<!\S)' . preg_quote($tag, '/') . '(?![a-zA-Z])/i';
Also, consider using unambiguous word boundaries
$pattern = '/(?<!\w)' . preg_quote($tag, '/') . '(?!\w)/i';
