Does this have to be done from apache perspective or can it be done using php. please suggest the procedure in either case apache OR php. Both will be involed. You will use what is referred to as the ErrorDocument entry. Have apache enforce a customer ErrorDocument for a 404 error. Then create a php script that is referred to by the ErrorDocument entry. error404.php please advice. thanks. With it being apache, you could also do it using SHTML (apache's subset of some simple extra tags to make files dynamic without having to load an entire PHP parser for it). But yes, it is as Jim Lucas posted; used quite a lot even. - Tuk -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] question about customized error
if a user by mistake types the wrong url directly in the address bar ex= www.website.com/abou.php instead of typing www.website.com/aboutus.php instead of the browser displaying File not found or a 404 error message i would like to display a customized page which will still have the same look and feel of my website in terms of the layout and i would like to a) display a message such as = "Page could not be found" and b) the url that the user originally typed should remain in the browser = I guess this would be the case anyway but i was wondering if something needs to be done in order to reatin the original address the user typed. Does this have to be done from apache perspective or can it be done using php. please suggest the procedure in either case apache OR php. please advice. thanks.
