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.

Here is a after/before screenshot:

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.

Description:
------------
The default error page in the built-in webserver is very ugly. 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Appearances matter :) It makes this new PHP feature look already outdated.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)
