Inserting Colon Between PHP Function Output

I have the following PHP function:

protected function getFieldRow($label, $value, $encode = true)
{
    if (empty($value))
    {
        return '';
    }

    return FoxHtmlElem::create()->append(FoxHtmlElem::create('dt')->classes('field-title')->text(JFilterInput::getInstance()->clean($label)))->append(FoxHtmlElem::create('dd')->classes('field-content')->html($encode ? nl2br(FoxHtmlEncoder::encode(JFilterInput::getInstance()->clean($value))) : $value))->render();
}

Which outputs to a list of:

<dt class="field-title">Label</dt><dd class="field-content">Value</dd>
<dt class="field-title">Label</dt><dd class="field-content">Value</dd>
<dt class="field-title">Label</dt><dd class="field-content">Value</dd>

How can I change the function to add a Colon ":" in plain text within the output like so:

<dt class="field-title">Label : </dt><dd class="field-content">Value</dd>
<dt class="field-title">Label : </dt><dd class="field-content">Value</dd>
<dt class="field-title">Label : </dt><dd class="field-content">Value</dd>

If you were to place a colon there, it WOULD appear but outside of the rules and styling of the description list.

I assume you would want it within the label tag like so:

protected function getFieldRow($label, $value, $encode = true)
{
    if (empty($value))
    {
        return '';
    }

    return FoxHtmlElem::create()
        ->append(FoxHtmlElem::create('dt')->classes('field-title')->text(JFilterInput::getInstance()->clean("{$label}:")))
        ->append(FoxHtmlElem::create('dd')->classes('field-content')->html($encode ? nl2br(FoxHtmlEncoder::encode(JFilterInput::getInstance()->clean($value))) : $value))
        ->render();
}

If you do want it the way you originally asked though, I'd guess at this being the solution (although google doesn't know what classes you are using and so neither do I so I cannot test it)

protected function getFieldRow($label, $value, $encode = true)
{
    if (empty($value))
    {
        return '';
    }

    return FoxHtmlElem::create()
        ->append(FoxHtmlElem::create('dt')->classes('field-title')->text(JFilterInput::getInstance()->clean($label)))
        ->append(":")
        ->append(FoxHtmlElem::create('dd')->classes('field-content')->html($encode ? nl2br(FoxHtmlEncoder::encode(JFilterInput::getInstance()->clean($value))) : $value))
        ->render();
}

Why don't you add it in alongside the Label like:

<dt class="field-title">Label :</dt>

You can do this by concatenating ':' with label;

$label .= " : ";

Hope this helps!
