Introduction -- How to use Console_Color
Basics
Console_Color provides methods
to convert complete strings tagged with special markers
into ANSI-compatible color code representations, and
methods that directly return those codes for certain colors.
The method used most often is
convert().
It takes a string, e.g.
or
3 out of 4 people make up about %r75%% %n |
and returns the ANSI representation. The characters following
a percentage sign (%) do have special meanings. See
color codes
to get an overview.
To reset the colors to normal, use %n.
Further, there is an
escape()
method that prevents special chars from being treated as markers.
Methods
bgcolor(),
color(),
fgcolor()
and
style()
directly return ANSI control codes for the given color or style value.
Using
strip(),
you can remove color and style codes from a string.
Example
<?php
require 'Console/Color.php';
//make it blue
print Console_Color::convert("%bHello World!%n\n");
//more colors
print Console_Color::convert("%rred%n, %ggreen%n, %yyellow%n\n");
?>
