[SOLVED] 403 php error.

[Shilo]

To start off with my problem I will give you some code:

 

.htaccess:

ErrorDocument 403 /index.php?status=403
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?status=404

 

and the code of the /index.php?status=403:

<?php
	case "403":
		$titleE = "403 Error - Forbidden";
		$messE = " ::  You do not have access to this area!";
		$error = $bst.$titleE.$messE.$ben;
	break;
?>

 

This works fine and displays "403 Error - Forbidden :: You do not have access to this area!" and shows it in an error box with the default homepage.

 

 

now heres the problem. It displays "localhost/require/" at the top of the page. This is because I was trying to access the "require" directory of my website. but when I click on a new link I get this error:

 

 

See the problem. Its trying to find file "localhost/require/index.php?blablabla..."

 

is there a way to make the htaccess direct the page to index.php?status=403 but in the root directory and not the require directory?

what I think I need to do is make the htaccess file look like:

 

ErrorDocument 403 %{HTTP_HOST}^/index.php?status=403

 

or something. but I cant seem to find the function for the root of the website.

The true error url isn't shown its masked by the url the error was generated it so the error page is in the root directory and called from in there

 

by putting ErrorDocument 403 /index.php?status=403 you are saying the document for error 403 is in the / root to where ever that htaccess is

 

the other option is if your htaccess isn't in your root http folder to define the full http path (which really you only need the main htaccess file in the root, any other htaccess files in other directorys should really be small situration changes)

 

ErrorDocument 403 http://mysite.com/index.php?status=403
