ChaosKnight Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Hi, I don't really know where this post should go, I have made a custom 404 error page called error.php, I want to make it a little smarter to get the URL that Google tried to access and try to find the best solution to where it should redirect the user with a 301. I have converted a website from .htm pages to .php and the website is losing a lot of web traffic. So what I need to know is if there's a way to get the URL that Google or other search engines requested? and what is the easiest way to dissect it in sections (like: /south_africa/default.htm into 2 variables, the one will contain south_africa and the other default.htm). Is this possible? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Where are you expecting to get the URL from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaosKnight Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 I was hoping that there is some $_SERVER element that carries these URLs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premiso Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Why not just setup an htaccess file that redirects a 301 redirect any page that ends with .htm (via request) to .php. If it was a transparent .htm -> .php that should be fine. The other option would be to revert it back to .htm and add that as a type that is parsed by php.
