Really need your help ** Resolved!

Hi all,

I would like to be able to use a php script/function that will
change the color of any text after the colon. For example,
There are many languages: English, French, etc... And
even more computer languages: C, VB, Php etc...

So what I would like to have the function do is:

There are many languages: <font color="blue">Englis, French, etc... <font>And
even more computer languages: <font color="blue">C, VB, Php etc...</font>


Any idea or help is appreciated!

use str_replace() to find all colon's and replace then with <font...>:
then same thing for etc... >> etc..</font ..>

Thanks for your reply. I thought about that already but my
problem is there could be text (regulary sentences)
between each colon. Here is an example of what I meant:
This is a test: ABC. Now comes a normal line. Five: Is 5.

I could get it work on just one simple colon.

well. you have to have some way of PHP to know when it shoudl replace it and when it shouldn't. You could give a <span> tag a special id attribute. then make the PHP only look in there. This would be a bit tricky to code, but not too hard.
