Storing and then printing ANSI escape sequences in (and then from) variables

[Luke Slater <luke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm storing ANSI escape sequences in an array, stored like this:

$connections[$channel][2] = $info['colour'];

$info['$colour'] would contain something like \033[33m

Now, my problem is when I try and print it:

$pstring = $connections[$channel][2] . $connections[$channel][1] . " " . 
$buffer . chr(7);

It will print as a literal string, actually printing \033[33m to the 
screen, so how do I make it work?

I'm sure I'm missing something fatally simple here.

Thanks for your help,

Luke Slater
