Colour of word

Recently I had a message board and wanted to give every user a different colour based on their name.
I made the following class:
[php]

<?php class Colour { protected $string = ''; private $instance = null; public function __construct($string) { $this->string = $string; } public function getHEX() { return '#' . substr(md5(strtolower($this->string)), 0, 6); } public function getRGB($opacity = 1) { $hex = str_replace("#", "", $this->getHEX()); if(strlen($hex) == 3) { $r = hexdec(substr($hex,0,1).substr($hex,0,1)); $g = hexdec(substr($hex,1,1).substr($hex,1,1)); $b = hexdec(substr($hex,2,1).substr($hex,2,1)); } else { $r = hexdec(substr($hex,0,2)); $g = hexdec(substr($hex,2,2)); $b = hexdec(substr($hex,4,2)); } $rgb = array($r, $g, $b, $opacity); return 'rgba(' . implode(",", $rgb) . ')'; } public function setString($string) { $this->string = $string; } public static function getInstance($string = '') { if (!isset(self::$instance) { self::$instance = new Colour($string); } elseif ($string != '') { self::$instance->setString($string); } return self::$instance; } } [/php] [php] //It can be used like this: $colour = new Colour('word'); // Return #289387 echo $colour->getHEX(); // Return RGB rgba(202,111,090,0.4) echo $colour->getRGB(); //Or use the same instance // Would both display the same thing. Colour::getInstance('word')->getRGB(); Colour::getInstance()->getRGB(); [/php] Hope that helps someone.

A few errors in the code here is the working version :slight_smile:
[php]

<?php class Colour { protected $string = ''; private static $instance = null; public function __construct($string) { $this->string = $string; } public function getHEX() { return '#' . substr(md5(strtolower($this->string)), 0, 6); } public function getRGB($opacity = 1) { $hex = str_replace("#", "", $this->getHEX()); if(strlen($hex) == 3) { $r = hexdec(substr($hex,0,1).substr($hex,0,1)); $g = hexdec(substr($hex,1,1).substr($hex,1,1)); $b = hexdec(substr($hex,2,1).substr($hex,2,1)); } else { $r = hexdec(substr($hex,0,2)); $g = hexdec(substr($hex,2,2)); $b = hexdec(substr($hex,4,2)); } $rgb = array($r, $g, $b, $opacity); return 'rgba(' . implode(",", $rgb) . ')'; } public function setString($string) { $this->string = $string; } public static function getInstance($string = '') { if (!isset(self::$instance)) { self::$instance = new self($string); } elseif ($string != '') { self::$instance->setString($string); } return self::$instance; } } [/php]

Do you mean you have fields that are browsed to filenames and you want the filenames?
