BANs and creating a custom 404 page in PHP?

Hello

Does anyone know how to create or modify BANs to come up with a custom 404 page.

cPanel method does not work - it's in the PHP code
.htaccess does not work either.


example:

yourbans_store.com [good]
yourbans_store.com/product_A [good]
yourbans_store.com/product_aksdjh**asdjhajshd [NOT Good] - 404 should come up
- what happens here is it redirects to home page.

thx

 

does mod-rewrite work on ur server ?

Edit

You will have to modify the site to redirect to 404 page instead of homepage

 

mod_rewrite - yes, script uses it
modify to redirect to 404, yes, it's in the script somewhere, wondering if anyone else has come accross this
thx
