Please explain why this is intended behavior, it does not make sense to me. html_errors is for html_errors, it's documented as such in php.ini: ; Disable the inclusion of HTML tags in error messages. ;html_errors = Off This says nothing about phpinfo() and IMHO it shouldn't affect it at all. The patch that resulted in this change is here: * add phpinfo() support for CLI. http://cvs.php.net/diff.php/php4/ext/standard/info.c?r1=1.193&r2=1.194 Why is html_errors being used in this way? When html_errors = off, errors remain readable when viewing in a browser but this textual version of phpinfo() == complete fubar in the browser (yes, one can use <pre>). One might turn html_errors off, for example, to use error_prepend_string/error_append_string in some way. Or they just don't want html in the errors... I don't see how this has anything to do with phpinfo() output. Why doesn't that patch instead check if sapi = cli? A person shouldn't be forced to have this textual phpinfo() if they decide to not include html in php generated errors. Please explain. phpinfo() is not an error! :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-14 15:17:42] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Where? Put the information in this bug report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-14 13:39:31] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've submitted a note to document this behavior in the PHP Manual. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-14 06:31:19] [EMAIL PROTECTED] If this is intended behaviour, this seems to be a doc problem, since I can't find anything about in the docs. Regards Friedhelm Betz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-14 06:19:32] [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's indeed intended like this (and I already forgave your typo :). Derick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-14 06:16:29] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sorry a misleading typo, but the script should be: <?php ini_set("html_errors","off"); phpinfo(); ?> or php.ini html_errors=off Is it intended behaviour with this settings that phpinfo() produces text-only output no html-formated output? Sorry if my first post wasn't clear enough. BTW, I wasn'able to find anything in the docs, that setting html_errors off causes phpinfo() to display text-only output.
