404 error page for database driven pages

[rahulvicky00]

Sorry for my bad english but i hope you would understand my query.

 

How can i set 404 not found for database driven pages..?

 

 

I am using header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found"); in my 404 error page and ErrorDocument 404 /404.html, whereas 404.html is my error page.

 

i have an URL http://www.example.com/folder/my-test-for-url-95/ which is opening correctly because it has existence on database. but when i am opening http://www.example.com/folder/my-test-for-url-951/ which has existence on database is also opening without any information but i want here a 404 not found page. How can i do so.

 

 

Thanks

Maybe you can use the .htaccess file for this...

A 'database driven page' could be/mean a lot of things.

 

I assume that information is being outputted from the database to the user (based on information found in the URL, i.e. via $_GET).

You will need to modify the code somewhere along the line. Perhaps either where the data(ex. HTML) is outputted to the user, or where the database checks if information exists.

You will want to check for 'bad' information, ex. empty information or an error, and tell it to either redirect to or load(i.e. through include) the error page instead of showing a blank/wrong page.

 

For a more detailed answer, we will need more information.
