Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] [PATCH] Repost: html_errors more readable
From: sniper@iki.fi (Jani Taskinen)


    Why don't you just use the existing ini options:
        
    ; String to output before an error message.
    ;error_prepend_string = "<font color=ff0000>"
    
    ; String to output after an error message.
    ;error_append_string = "</font>"
    
    ??
