RE: [PHP] 404 error checker
Jason, Thanks for the pointer. Worked like a charm, well almost. I had to tweak my .htaccess file as it was messing up some global variables cause i was using absolute URLS to point to my error script. Someone else ask to see the script. You can check it at: http://www.social-ecology.org/404.txt The top part of the script actually does all the funky passing of error info to a selected email, and the bottom part is the page that is displayed upon a 404 error. You'll have to mess with your .htaccess so it looks something like this: ErrorDocument 404 /404.php Thanks again!

RE: [PHP] 404 error checker
John, I had the same problem, but it was a matter of how I was refering the teh 404 file in htaccess. It is working fine for me now. An example of my output is below.

RE: [PHP] 404 error checker
Ah yes, this seems to stem from the fact the "ErrorDocument 404 /404.php" is really a kind if redirect. What's weird about this is if you use it one way (in the .htaccess) the PHP variables that appear are pre-redirect. If you put "Errordocument 404 /404.php" into the httpd.conf the PHP variables are post-redirect and are just as if you went straight to the 404.php page. I am sure I am missing some kind of Apache "point-of-view," but is it working for most of my URLs now. Some ancient CGI accesses come in now and again and they show this problem. However, thanks for the idea and code. Even as just a 404 trigger, this is very useful. The emails are starting to show just how many old URLs exist on my servers.

Re: [PHP] 404 error checker
You may be getting emails, but for some reason, when I try the links provided as a demo: BAD LINK-- http://www.social-ecology.org/new/indexbog.html PAGE WITH BAD LINK-- http://www.social-ecology.org/indexbogus.html My browser pops up the save as dialog. I do have javascript enabled, so I don't understand it. I have been working on a similar 404 - actually just trying to modify the one at phpbuilder.com to work with my system (PHP mail() won't work because user nobody does not have permissions to execute the deliver daemon in the Cyrus Imap server). Are you seeing the page itself? I can't bring it up. Lou John Huggins wrote: Ah yes, this seems to stem from the fact the "ErrorDocument 404 /404.php" is really a kind if redirect.
