String Replace with font color

I am grabbing a game server's name, and displaying it on a page.
In the game configuration files on windows, you can set your server name with colors

Example:

^1 - RED
^2 - GREEN
^3 - YELLOW
^4 - BLUE
^5 - CYAN
^6 - PINK
^7 - WHITE
^8 - DEFAULT MAP COLOR
^9 - GREY OR DEFAULT MAP COLOR
^0 - BLACK

So if i set my server name as ^1Server ^4Come Join!
It would show up as Server Come Join! in the server list.

Now I have got the server name displaying in a page, and replaced the ^# signs with a blank entry
$hostname will display the server name, but with the color coded characters, which of course I would not want displaying
I would instead like to have them display the appropriate color

How would I go about replacing ^0 with black and so on.
Thanks

 
<?php
$text = "$hostname";
$text = str_replace("^0","", $text);
$text = str_replace("^1","", $text);
$text = str_replace("^2","", $text);
$text = str_replace("^3","", $text);
$text = str_replace("^4","", $text);
$text = str_replace("^5","", $text);
$text = str_replace("^6","", $text);
$text = str_replace("^7","", $text);
$text = str_replace("^8","", $text);
$text = str_replace("^9","", $text);
echo "$text";
?>
 

Code (text):

 

<?php
$search = array('^1', '^2', '^3');
$replace = array('RED', 'GREEN', 'YELLOW');

$text = str_replace($search, $replace, $text);
?>

PHP:

And so on for the other colors.

 

Is that going to display the word RED GREEN ETC not output that color correct?

I need to have ^1 replaced with a font color etc

Thanks

 

Why don't you test it?

 

I am its not displaying server name at all

 

Oh, I misread your question:

<?php
$search = array('^1', '^2', '^3');
$replace = array('<font color="red">', '<font color="green">', 'font color="yellow">');

$text = '^1Server ^2Come Join!';

$cnt = 0;
$text = str_replace($search, $replace, $text, $cnt);

if ($cnt) {
   $text = preg_replace('/<font/i', '</font><font', $text);
   $text = substr($text, 7);
   $text .= '</font>';
}

echo $text;
?>

PHP:

 

<?php
$regexes = array('/\^1([^^]++)/', '/\^2([^^]++)/', '/\^3([^^]++)/', '/\^4([^^]++)/', '/\^5([^^]++)/', '/\^6([^^]++)/', '/\^7([^^]++)/');
$replacements = array('<font color="red">$1</font>', '<font color="green">$1</font>', '<font color="yellow">$1</font>', '<font color="blue">$1</font>', '<font color="cyan">$1</font>', '<font color="pink">$1</font>', '<font color="white">$1</font>');
$hostname = $hostname;
echo preg_replace($regexes, $replacements, $hostname);
?>

PHP:
