is there a way to view the error message without having to force an error?

If you wanted to just check what it looks like, here's a simple way (I suppose you could just use raw html but I think this may be slightly better)
Anyway, copy and paste your error code with php tags around it. I'm using the standard one here to show you...
<?php
//
// Lets test the error message formatting :)
//
print "<html><head><title>IPS Driver Error</title>
<style>P,BODY{ font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; }</style></head><body>
<blockquote><h1>IPS Driver Error</h1><b>There appears to be an error with the database.</b><br>
You can try to refresh the page by clicking <a href=\"java script:window.location=window.location;\">here</a>
</body></html>";
?>
Copy and paste that code into a text file and rename it test.php (or something with a php extension) , upload it to a temporary directory outside your forum directory ideally (just /test_error possibly) and visit it in your web browser
When happy with the formatting and layout etc, simply copy and paste that into the real file (remember not to copy and paste the php tags!), you want to start at print and finish with <html>";
