[hayato1]

i try to correctly output this following i missing a >

$word = $desc;
$change = array('^','000000');
$replace = array('<font color=#', '</font>');
$newword = str_replace($change, $replace, $word);

my data $desc

A potion made from grinded Red Herbs, ^000088Restores 45HP.^000000\r\n^ffffff_^000000\r\nWeight : ^7777777^000000\r\n

how could i got this?
A potion made from grinded Red Herbs, <font color=#000088>Restores 45HP.</font><br>
<font color=#ffffff>_</font><br>
Weight : <font color=#777777>7</font><br>

1st problem is how to close font color

2nd problem is
if replace ^ then ⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰ cant be </font>

Thanks for reading ^~

str_replace isn't quite good enough in this case. you need regex to place the last > in the html output. here is working code.

$change = array('/\^0{6}/', '/\^([A-Fa-f0-9]{6})/');
$replace = array('</font>', '<font color="#$1">');
$newword = preg_replace($change, $replace, $word);
