What are the best practices for configuring the command line interface to display color output when using PHP?

To display color output in the command line interface when using PHP, you can use ANSI escape codes to format text with different colors. This can make the output more visually appealing and easier to read. By using these escape codes in your PHP script, you can specify the color of text, background, and other formatting options. 

// Enable ANSI escape codes for color output in the command line interface
define('COLOR_RESET', "\033[0m");
define('COLOR_RED', "\033[0;31m");
define('COLOR_GREEN', "\033[0;32m");
define('COLOR_YELLOW', "\033[0;33m");

// Example usage
echo COLOR_RED . "Error message" . COLOR_RESET . "\n";
echo COLOR_GREEN . "Success message" . COLOR_RESET . "\n";
echo COLOR_YELLOW . "Warning message" . COLOR_RESET . "\n";
