How do I enable the colors for output of CLI? The below one is, running on Ubuntu.
If you see the screenshot, obviously the colors is enabled for terminal. And, if I call echo, it doesn't colorize the result, but if I use echo -e, it colorizes.
I checked manual page of echo, and -e means enable interpretation of backslash escapes
How can I enable this option for PHP CLI?
First we use an escape character so we can actually define a output color. This is done with \033 (\e). Then we open the color statement with [31m. Red in this case.
The "some colored text" will be the text outputted in a different color. And after that we have to close the color statement with \033[0m.
php -r 'echo "\033[31m some colored text \033[0m some white text \n";'
