PHP Echo text Color
How about writing out some HTML tags and some CSS if you're outputting this to the browser?
echo '<span style="color:#AFA;text-align:center;">Request has been sent. Please wait for my reply!</span>';
Won't work from console though, only through browser.
How about writing out some escape sequences?
echo "\033[01;31m Request has been sent. Please wait for my reply! \033[0m";
Won't work through browser though, only from console ;))
