Make console calls in php and read output with colors

In my php code I want to make console calls (e.g. 'git diff') via exec(), or proc* functions.

Is there any method to capture their output with colors?

You can ask git to always color output:

git -c color.diff=always diff

If you're using linux, you can use the tput setat command to highlight the output. Look this: http://linuxcommand.org/lc3_adv_tput.php

Found the way to do it.

There is no method to do it straight through php. But you can capture colorized output by wrapping your command with script -c <command> tool. It will save colors.
