RE: [PHP] 404 error checker

I wish I knew more about appache and htaccess to help you out, but I don't. michael WEBSITE-- www.social-ecology.org BAD LINK-- http://www.social-ecology.org/new/indexbog.html PAGE WITH BAD LINK-- http://www.social-ecology.org/indexbogus.html TYPE-- 404 File Not Found WHO WAS ACCESSING-- ch5blm.bellglobal.com USER AGENT Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0; CNETHomeBuild051099; DigExt) On Thu, 1 Feb 2001, John Huggins wrote: > After some experimenting I find this 404.php program only shows the original > missing file when the .htaccess file has the "ErrorDocument 404 /404.php" > phrase.
