Custom 404 Pages

Here is the code for a custom 404 page, it will handle errors for you...

Code:

<? # Please dont rip made my xNirinium, loyal member of GFXVOID # Set these variables to configure the script: # Set $domain to your domain name (no www) $domain = ""; # Set $docroot to the URL of the directory which contains your # .htaccess file. Don't include trailing slash. $docroot = "http://www.#.com"; # Font type $fontface = "Verdana"; # Font size $fontsize = "2"; # Background $bgcolor = "#ffffff"; # Text color $textcolor = "#000000"; # This script is capable of mailing the details of each 404 error # to the webmaster. Use the $reportlevel variable to control when # you receive these reports. # # 0 = don't use the email capabilities # 1 = send email only if the error's referer contains your domain name #**** (i.e. the 404 was generated by a broken link on your site) # 2 = send email any time a 404 error is generated (useful for tracking #**** broken links at other sites which link to you) $reportlevel = 2; # Set $emailaddress to the email address of whoever should be # notified of 404 errors. Don't escape the @ symbol. # You can leave this unassigned if you're not using email features. $emailaddress = "you@example.com"; # #Configuration ends here! # #Until I rewrite my scripts, this will suffice for bg-compatibility; if(phpversion() >= "4.2.0"){ ** extract($_POST); ** extract($_SERVER); ** extract($_ENV); } # The print_details function is what prints the 404 error to # the visitor. function print_details(){ ** # Request access to the global variables we need ** global $fontface, $fontsize, $docroot, $REQUEST_URI, $reportlevel; ** global $bgcolor, $textcolor; ** # Print the 404 error in web format ** echo <<<EOT <html><head><title>404 Not Found</title></head> <body bgcolor="$bgcolor" text="$textcolor"> <b><h1>404 Not Found</h1></b> <p><font face="$fontface" size="$fontsize"> We're sorry. The page you requested, $docroot$REQUEST_URI, doesn't exist on this server.</font></p> EOT; ** # If an email report is being generated, let the visitor know: ** if ($reportlevel != 0){ ******echo "<p><font face=\"$fontface\" size=\"$fontsize\">"; ******echo "The details of this error have automatically been mailed to the webmaster.";** **** } ** return; **} # The send_email function sends the details of the 404 error to the # webmaster. function send_email(){ ** # Request access to the global variables we need ** global $REQUEST_URI, $HTTP_REFERER, $emailaddress, $REMOTE_ADDR, $docroot; ** # Build the $errortime variable to contain the date/time of the error. ** $errortime = (date("d M Y h:m:s")); ** # Create the body of the email message ** $message .= "404 Error Report\n\nA 404 error was encountered by $REMOTE_ADDR"; ** $message .= " on $errortime.\n\n"; ** $message .= "The URI which generated the error is: \n$docroot$REQUEST_URI\n\n"; ** $message .= "The referring page was:\n$HTTP_REFERER\n\n"; ** # Send the mail message. This assumes mail() will work on your system! ** $headers = "From: $emailaddress\nDate: $errortime -0600\n"; ** $subject = "404 Error: $docroot$REQUEST_URI"; ** mail($emailaddress, $subject, $message, $headers); ** ** return; **} # Done with function declarations. Main function begins here. header("404 Not Found"); # Send a 404 error to the user's browser print_details(); # See whether or not we should send an email report. If so, do it. if ($reportlevel != 0) **if ($reportlevel == 1) { ****if (eregi($domain,$HTTP_REFERER))** ******send_email(); } **else **** send_email(); ** # Close up the HTML tags echo "</body></html>"; ?>

Well, your declarations are all correct.

Personally i would also use:

# Apache Error Handling
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) /errors.php?act=FourZeroFour
ErrorDocument 404 /errors.php?act=FourZeroFour

and that goes into .HTACCESS
