Re: [PHP] 404 error From: Richard Baskett (rick <email protected>)
Date: 09/24/01

You need to create an .htaccess file with this inside of it:

ErrorDocument 404 /yourfulldirectory/404.php

What this does is tells your server where to look when it has a 404 error.
You can put an .htaccess file in each directory so each directory will have
a different 404 error. Or you can put it in the root "/404.php" since the
file is recursive within directories.

And then I have inside my 404.php file a little script that emails me the
referrer page and the link that created the error, plus a little to tell the
user that the page was not found of course :)

The Page with error is $HTTP_REFERER
The Link on that Page is $REDIRECT_SCRIPT_URI

I hope that helps!
