Anyhow my preferable method of achiving this is having all pages raise a 404 error, which then loads my custom 404 page which shall output a 200 ok header and load the appropiate content. I have heard somewhere though, that despite overwriting the 404 header, search engines wont index the page because they think it does not exist... is this the case? If so I shall use another method, such as one where I crop the *.php extension off my files and force apache to interpret them as mime type php. Look at the headers you're sending out. If there's no 404, then the search engine has no possible way of knowing how you handled it on the back end. miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
