## Description

PHP-Console-Highlighter is a syntax highlighter and console code formatter designed to apply color-coding to PHP source code for display in terminal environments. It functions as a utility to transform plain PHP text into visually structured code for command line interfaces.

The tool enables terminal-based code review and provides formatted output for PHP static analysis tools and command line applications. It uses regex-based tokenization and ANSI sequence color mapping to translate syntax tokens into colored text.
