Php Header 404 Redirect
I want to display a 404 Error if a user reaches a page that exists but I don't want him/her to see. I don't want to do redirect (that would cause the address bar to show the link of the error page in the address bar) like the following: if ($this_page_should_not_be_seen) header("Location: err.php?e=404"); Instead, it should seem like the page really doesn't exist, without having the URL in the browser's address changed. how to handle 404 error in php php custom-error-pages share|improve this question edited May 31 '15 at 8:29 asked Jun 21 '12 at 11:57 Dilip Raj Baral 1,16851542 1 and what's wrong with htaccess? –k102 Jun 21 '12 at 11:58 1 That's the job for .htaccess, not for PHP file... or, for both of them, if you just redirect everything to index.php, but still, you need .htaccess or access to httpd.conf. –Griwes Jun 21 '12 at 11:59 1 you mean your browser shows the 404 error rather than a custom 404 page? you can redirect it to some page with doesn't exist in actual. –Ummar Jun 21 '12 at 11:59 @Ummar That would work, but I was wondering if there is formal way to do this.. –Dilip Raj Baral Jun 21 '12 at 12:15 1 best formal way I think is .htaccess –Ummar Jun 21 '12 at 12:20 | show 1 more comment 5 Answers 5 active oldest votes up vote 20 down vote accepted Include the error page in your current page and send a 404 error status code:

Did you check the server response header? –Gumbo Sep 4 '09 at 19:32 1 In answer to your concluding question, yes, it would be a bad idea to redirect all 404s to a real page. This violates the HTTP spec by turning something that shouldn't be there into something that is there. –Lucas Oman Sep 4 '09 at 19:41 add a comment| 4 Answers 4 active oldest votes up vote 50 down vote accepted What you're doing will work, and the browser will receive a 404 code. What it won't do is display the "not found" page that you might be expecting, e.g.: Not Found The requested URL /test.php was not found on this server. That's because the web server doesn't send that page when PHP returns a 404 code (at least Apache doesn't). PHP is responsible for sending all its own output. So if you want a similar page, you'll have to send the HTML yourself, e.g.: You could configure Apache to use the same page for its own 404 messages, by putting this in httpd.conf: ErrorDocument 404 /notFound.php share|improve this answer edited Mar 23 at 14:47 Kzqai 11.5k1678112 answered Sep 4 '09 at 19:50 JW. 28.8k207999 Thanks.

Not only do they make your website more professional, they can also save you from losing visits to your site. If a visitor sees a generic error page, they are likely to leave your site. However, if they see a helpful error page, they may continue to stay because they can simply click a link to go to another page within your site. Simple configuration To create a custom error page for your domain, add the following line to an .htaccess file located in your domain’s web directory: ErrorDocument 404 /error.php This redirects browsers that experience a 404 error (Not Found) to the file "error.php" located in the same directory as your .htaccess file. Alternatively, you can use the above line as a template to create separate custom error pages for each error. Status codes The complete (and very long) list of errors is available here: Status codes Some of the most common errors you'll probably want to make entries for are: 400 – Bad Request 401 – Unauthorized 403 – Forbidden 404 – Not Found 500 – Internal Server Error For example, to catch those errors, you would add the following to your .htaccess file for the domain you'd like to configure: ErrorDocument 400 /error.php ErrorDocument 401 /error.php ErrorDocument 403 /error.php ErrorDocument 404 /error.php ErrorDocument 500 /error.php This forces a browser to redirect to the /error.php file if it encounters any of the status codes above. Setting up the error.php file Then, in error.php, add something similar to the following. This particular example is made for a wiki site: if someone visits http://www.example.com/Foo, then they are redirected to http://www.example.com/wiki/Foo. Anything after the last "/" is assumed to be a wiki article they are trying to reach:
