Show a missing page error

hsriat

Assume this case:

User requests for a page: my-page.php.
If the page is available, the browser shows the page.
But if the page is missing, the browser gets redirected to a page with address:
missing_page.php?page=my-page.php

How can this be done?

If you are using Apache, provide .htaccess file like this:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
ErrorDocument 401 error.php?code=401

ErrorDocument 403 error.php?code=403

ErrorDocument 404 error.php?code=404

The configuration above will display error.php for HTTP error 401, 403 and 404. And error.php might looks something like this:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<?php

switch($_GET['code']) {

  case '401':

    print "Error 401 - Authentication Required!";

    break;

  case '403':

    print "Error 403 - Access Forbidden!";

    break;

  case '404':

    print "You have requested for page " . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] . " which doesn't exist.";

    break;

}

?>

So I think I need this as in .htaccess

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

ErrorDocument 404 missing_page.php?page=$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] wont work in .htaccess i guess

pretty good point!!!

Then how to solve this?

[EDIT: Solved: Instead of using $_GET['page'] in missing_page.php, I can utilize $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']]
