How to Retrieve Invalid URL ??

[yhchan]

Dear all, I need some help on this:

 

Basically what i want to do is, whenever a visitor enters an invalid URL, I would like to redirect to a php file, and then I would like to retrieve the invalid URL and do some string manipulation with it.

 

Let's say visitor type www.mydomain.com/blahblahblah , which is an invalid url. In stead of the standard "404 not found" page, i want all 404 request to be redirected to a php file, and get the whole "www.mydomain.com/blahblahblah" string for some processing.

 

So far I've managed to make the redirection thing works by adding

 

ErrorDocument 404 /somefile.php

 

in my apache configuration file. However, I can't get the invalid URL. I try to get it from getenv("HTTP_REFERER"); but it's empty.

 

Any ideas on how to achieve this? Thanks a lot !

Create a .htaccess File with the following content:

ErrorDocument 404 "/missing.php"

 

And then look into $_SERVER

yhchan,

 

Check your post on VBF... I have answered it there also.

 

Just use the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] or $_SERVER['REDIRECT_URL'];
