It would be trivial to set up phpinfo's CSS so it descends from a style called "phpinfo". Then phpinfo() could enclose itself in a <div class="phpinfo">, without any further modifications to itself. Like this: <style> .phpinfo body {style=whatever} .phpinfo td {style=whatever} .phpinfo table {style=whatever} etc, etc, etc </style> Then anything within a <div class="phpinfo"> will inherit those styles. Absolutely basic CSS and it doesn't even require changing the actual phpinfo() output. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-01 14:53:17] csaba at alum dot mit dot edu Yes, phpinfo is a super function, but it should also be a nice player and please not hog the styles on my previously generated elements. Here's an example that illustrates this (tried on IE6 on Win2K with PHP 5.0.0RC1). The TEXTAREA element is supposed to fill the first (multi rowspan) TD element. if you uncomment the phpinfo line at the bottom, then you'll see that the TEXTAREA element nearly disappears. This is because the style sheet genereated by phpinfo sets the TD style to have vertical-align:baseline. Notice that the body color changes for similar reasons. And the links would change, too, if I had them.

The choice of style names are all that need to change. For instance, instead of redefining "table", use a class name like #phpinfotable and instead of a basic names like ".e" use ".phpinfocell", instead of "h1" use "h1.phpinfo", "a:link#phpinfo", etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=24095&edit=1
