hmmm, didn't seem to work, this is my code,

      $newitem2 = $_POST["name"]."|^|".$rusercolor."|^|";

right now it posts this into my database file

nameintextbox|^|#0000FF|^|

i want it to post

nameintextbox|^|$rusercolor|^|

Try using

$newitem2 = $_POST["name"]."|^|$rusercolor|^|";
or
$newitem2 = $_POST["name"]."|^|\$rusercolor|^|";
