If you just want to customize your 404 page (presumably to call a PHP script?), your web server documentation should be of assistance. For instance, Apache's ErrorDocument directive <http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#errordocument> is quite simple to implement, as long as the hosting setup at least permits use of an .htaccess file. By "pull the page based on the document directory" do mean that you want to display different versions of a 404 page depending upon what URL resulted in the 404 status? For instance, /dir1/badpath1 would get "No such page, bozo" while /dir2/badpath2 would get "That page is not available, but here's our site map instead", etc.? If so, then you may want to direct all 404s to a single PHP script, then let the script generate appropriate output based on an env var such as PHP_SELF, REQUEST_URI, SCRIPT_NAME (see phpinfo() for a bunch of possibilities). -- CC
