A PHP library that highlights PHP source code with colors when printed to a terminal, built on top of PHP Console Color. This original repository is abandoned; the maintained fork lives at php-parallel-lint/PHP-Console-Highlighter.

Use cases

• highlight PHP code snippets in CLI output
• colorize PHP error context in console tools
• print a whole PHP file with syntax colors in the terminal
• add readable PHP code display to a command-line debugger
• render PHP source in terminal-based reports

When to choose

• you need simple terminal syntax highlighting for PHP code in a PHP CLI application
• you are already using the jakub-onderka package ecosystem and want matching behavior

When to avoid

• you are starting a new project - use the maintained fork php-parallel-lint/PHP-Console-Highlighter instead
• you need highlighting for languages other than PHP
• you need HTML or rich-text output rather than ANSI terminal colors
