404 Page help.

[Jacbey]

Hi,

 

My question is actually not so much to do with php but anyway. I want to make a 404 page that doesn't redirect. So say for example, I go to www.mysite.com/eurgire and this was invalid it wouldn't go to www.mysite.com/404.html it would stay as www.mysite.com/eurgire but display a 404 message. How would I go about doing this?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Jacob.

I know that. But that redirects www.mysite.com/incorrect.html to mysite.com/404.html which I don't want it to do.

while for me  anytime a user types in a wrong link for explame they type in google.com/web it would just stay there and should the error

That isn't the default Apache behavior.

 

This is usually done by routing everything through the index.php file. By doing this, pages are never technically "not found", since the index.php file exists. Therefore you can have the functionality you are looking for and force 404 headers when something is "not found".
