When called as error handler, the relevant array entries are set as this: [REDIRECT_ERROR_NOTES] => File does not exist: /home/user/www/stuff/demo.doc [REDIRECT_REQUEST_METHOD] => GET [REDIRECT_STATUS] => 404 [REDIRECT_UNIQUE_ID] => PmfkMT50HtMAABifETo [REDIRECT_URL] => /stuff/demo.doc You can check the ['REDIRECT_URL'] entry for the actual file that was missing. If it contains any image extension, e.g., you may serve a default image: if (preg_match('/\.(jpg|gif|png)$/i', $_SERVER['REDIRECT_URL'])) { // this was an image file } -- >O Ernest E.
