Think I might have gone about this the long way around, but here's what I dreamed up:
[code]<?php
$str = "hi my name is redarrow i like my motorbike its class";
$tmp = array();

for($x=0; $x<strlen($str); $x++) {
    $tmp[] = $str{$x};
}

$letters = array("a","b","c");
$new = "";

foreach($tmp as $l) {
    if(in_array($l,$letters)) {
        $new .= "<span style='color:#ff0000'>$l</span>";
    } else {
        $new .= $l;
    }
}

echo $new;
?>[/code]

Ok, slightly modified version, this one colours slected letters different colours. Plus I took out some stuff that wasn't really neccesary. Commented this time...
[code]<?php
$str = "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog"; //The string!

//Option to auto generate an array of letters/colours
//$letters = array();
//foreach(range("a","z") as $l) $letters[$l] = "#".str_pad(dechex(rand(0,255)),2,"0",STR_PAD_LEFT).str_pad(dechex(rand(0,255)),2,"0",STR_PAD_LEFT).str_pad(dechex(rand(0,255)),2,"0",STR_PAD_LEFT);

$letters = array("a" => "#ff0000","b" => "#00ff00","c" => "#0000ff"); //Our array of letters and colours
$new = ""; //This will hold our final string

for($x=0; $x<strlen($str); $x++) { //Loop through our string letter by letter
    $l = $str{$x};
    if(array_key_exists($l,$letters)) { //If the current letter in the string exists in the letter/colour array, colour it.
        $new .= "<span style='color:$letters[$l]'>$l</span>";
    } else {
        $new .= $l; //If it doesn't exist, just print it normally
    }
}

echo $new; //Echo our new coloured string!
?>[/code]
