substrings!

output everything before the first ^ character. Read the int after ^ that determines the color and output appropriate HTML tag. Cut w/e your outputed out and repeat the loop untill the whole string is processed.

-----------------------------------

use something like this...


$text = "^1WELCOEM ^7IDIOT";

$text = ereg_replace ("\^1", "", $text);
$text = ereg_replace ("\^7", "", $text);

echo $text;


you need the \ in front of the ^ because ^ is a special character in the regular expression syntax
