Req #63242 [Opn]: Default error page in PHP built-in web server uses outdated html/css

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63242&edit=1 ID: 63242 Updated by: reeze@php.net Reported by: pascal dot chevrel at free dot fr Summary: Default error page in PHP built-in web server uses outdated html/css Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Built-in web server Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.4.7 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: It's nice to have modern, but the appearance should be consist on PHP itself(VI). PHP use the BLUE a lot, kind of the color of PHP. as the color yellow, It looks like an error page of django :) and the built-in server is just for testing purpose, If possible, I'd PHP redesign its Visual Identity System to be more modern. And, yes there is a PHP.net alpha there: http://www.php.net/my.php (enable it at the bottom). but seems didn't active for a long time.

Looking at the history of the file in the git repository, these styles and html were copied from the phpinfo styling created in 2002 with CSS selectors that had Netscape 4/IE4 compatibility in mind. Appearances matter :) It makes this new PHP feature look already outdated. I am going to attach a patch that: * will make it look a bit more modern and works in responsive mode too * will remove unused css rules from the code * will add an html5 doctype to the error page * will remove unnecesary html attributes in html5 (I noticed that there are 2 tests in the sapi/cli/tests folder that reproduce some of this html, I don't know how tests work for php but I can give a shot at updating the expected results of the tests in the patch if required) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63242&edit=1
