I previously wrote up a terminal color function which called perl to do the colorizing. This is more of an update, but is a totally different function. When provided with an additional variable it will output the colorization versus passing it back as a return variable.

<?
 # first define colors to use
 $_colors = array(

                                    LIGHT_RED      => "[1;31m",

                                    LIGHT_GREEN     => "[1;32m",

                                    YELLOW         => "[1;33m",

                                    LIGHT_BLUE     => "[1;34m",

                                    MAGENTA     => "[1;35m",

                                    LIGHT_CYAN     => "[1;36m",

                                    WHITE         => "[1;37m",

                                    NORMAL         => "[0m",

                                    BLACK         => "[0;30m",

                                    RED         => "[0;31m",

                                    GREEN         => "[0;32m",

                                    BROWN         => "[0;33m",

                                    BLUE         => "[0;34m",

                                    CYAN         => "[0;36m",

                                    BOLD         => "[1m",

                                    UNDERSCORE     => "[4m",

                                    REVERSE     => "[7m",

                            

                            );

                                if($out == ""){ $out = "[0m"; }

                                if($back){

                                    return chr(27)."$out$text".chr(27).chr(27)."[0m".chr(27);

                                }else{

                                    echo chr(27)."$out$text".chr(27).chr(27)."[0m".chr(27);

                                }//fi
 }// end function

                            #####################################################################################

Usage Example

                            $text = "Here is some blue text!n";
