WG: [PHP] Interesting Question (honest :O)

I've had the same problem some time ago. Jon's solution is the one, I found first, too. But I did not manage to get the URL of the missing document. (Maybe I've overseen a simple feature). Any suggestions about that would be nice. Another approach for this problem is to use mod_rewrite (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html).
