Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63242&edit=1 ID: 63242 User updated by: pascal dot chevrel at free dot fr 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: @laruence Thanks, I will do that this afternoon. Is that ok if I just add back the blue background color of do you want the page to remain strictly identical to what it is now? (currently the title and paragraph are not aligned, the title also has no padding and sticks to the blue border /ex).

For sure, I am in no way saying that the integrated web server should be used in production. You seem to be of the opinion that since it is not targetting production, it is ok that it is using obsolete HTML/CSS and looks like a 404 page from the 90's, I disagree, there is no reason to use complex sub-quality HTML/CSS, especially since it gives poor visual result. My patch simplifies the code used (less lines of code) while making the error page a bit more decent in terms of layout. I am happy to make compromises on this patch and revert the color to use the same blue color as before if you wish, using correct typography/alignment and simpler html/css code in the source code would already be a win for both consumers (web developpers that see this page during their developement) and the code base I think. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-10-09 05:12:41] reeze@php.net 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-10-08 17:53:00] pascal dot chevrel at free dot fr Here is a after/before screenshot: http://chevrel.org/images/phpbugs/bug63242.png Note that I chose yellow for the error header instead of blue because this is the color used in the terminal for such errors, blue is not usually an error associated to errors. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
