Generic error page

Can php display an error page whenever the user tries to access a page in the site which does not exist?

 

Hi,

im not sure but i think it cannot, what you should do is to set an htaccess for broken URL. Modwrite, so you can redirect user.

Thanks,

Mike

 

PHP can't, but .htaccess can.

ErrorDocument 404 /path/to/error_404_file.html

Code (markup):

 

I'm using xamp as my localhost, where can I find the .htaccess file there and when I finally upload this to my online server where would it be there?

Btw, what does the "ht" mean in .htaccess?

 

You have to create it manually in the directory you're currently working in.

And it stands for hyper text, if I remember correctly.

 

Thanks guys. I got the hang of it now.

 

Its possible with .htaccess file only
