How can PHP developers ensure compatibility with ANSI color support on Windows systems for console output?

ANSI color codes are not natively supported on Windows systems for console output. To ensure compatibility, PHP developers can use the `php_strip_whitespace()` function to remove any ANSI color codes from their output before sending it to the console on Windows systems. 

function strip_ansi_color_codes($string) {
    return preg_replace('/\x1b\[[0-9;]*m/', '', $string);
}

// Example usage
echo strip_ansi_color_codes("\033[1;31mHello, World!\033[0m");
