Re: Custom Error 404

Thank you, Rasmus. I had a feeling I needed to provide more information. Right now, I am running NT 5, with the CGI version of PHP 4, and IIS 5 as the web server. As for the Linux machine, it will be running Apache web server. So I'm assuming that the information below is what I need. It looks like all I need is the REDIRECT_QUERY_STRING on Apache. So I will only need to parse the NT string while I am developing the network. Thanks again!

You didn't say which web server you are using on NT5, nor which one you are planning to use on Linux. PHP has nothing to do with how this works. On Linux with Apache you will get the following variables when you make a request for domain.com/blah?abc=123&def=456

REDIRECT_ERROR_NOTES     File does not exist: /home/rasmus/phpweb/blah
REDIRECT_QUERY_STRING    abc=123&def=345

REDIRECT_REQUEST_METHOD GET

REDIRECT_STATUS          404
REDIRECT_URL             /blah
QUERY_STRING             <empty>
REQUEST_URI              /blah?abc=123&def=345

My sites are handled somewhat uniquely. When a visitor (or a component of the network) enters a URL address, the address does not really exist! They are given a custom 404 error page that determines what information/site they are trying to view and the page is then created. I need to know if Linux handles custom error messages the same as NT5. Here's the scenario: Let's say I call the following page: http://domain.com/site/index.html?anyvar=yeah The page does not exist so the custom error page is called. For now, I have phpinfo() in the custom error page. On NT5, the following appears under the phpinfo(): SCRIPT_NAME = name of error page QUERY_STRING = 404;http://domain.com/site/index.html?anyvar=yeah Is this how the query string will appear on a Linux machine? I need to know in order to parse the string right... If it will appear differently, please let me know how.
