Format die Message in PHP

Question

Is there a way to style the output of php's die(); message?

Answer 1

The die() function, will always print out exactly what text you pass it. The way for you will be to create a function that returns the error message and then call the exit function. 

function die_nicely($msg) {
    echo <<<END
<div id="critical_error">$msg</div>
END;
    exit;
}

I hope this helps you.
