404 Error

[jamesjmann]

Hey, I was wondering if there is a way to customize the 404 error page I designed using php. My host is Godaddy.

 

Here is what my 404 page error says:

Oops, 404 Error!

That page is no longer in my site!

I recently redesigned and reorganized my site, so there may be a few misdirected links that I don't know are out there. 

We'll never know for sure, so please just navigate to a new page!

 

This is what I want it to display:

Oops, 404 Error!

The page [b]http://www.yourwebsite.com/theurlthatdoesnotexist[/b] is no longer in my site!

I recently redesigned and reorganized my site, so there may be a few misdirected links that I don't know are out there. 

We'll never know for sure, so please just navigate to a new page!

 

How can I make it so that when the user goes to a url that does not exist, the url that was typed in the browser appears in the 404 error message? I've seen this done before so I know it's not impossible.

I already set up my error page with godaddy, but Godaddy can't put the php code in your error page for you. That's why I posted my question here. i was wondering if there was a php code I could use that could input that information into the page.

NVM. I found that by inserting this:

<?php
function curPageURL() {
$pageURL = 'http';
if ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") {$pageURL .= "s";}
$pageURL .= "://";
if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80") {
  $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
} else {
  $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
}
return $pageURL;
}
?>

<?php
  echo curPageURL();
?>

 

I can get the current url in the user's browser to display within the page.
