Hello,

I know that by checking the $_SERVER[REFERER] you could get the referer source. My question is how do you find the redirection source?

I have an error404.html page which is being redirected to if a 404 error is encountered when accessing my site. Now I would like to find out who redirected the broswer to the error404.html?

Thanks for your answer

A minor issue, but the actual referer variable is $_SERVER[HTTP_REFERER]. See http://us2.php.net/reserved.variables.

As for your question, I don't know a painless way of doing this OTHER than to append a variable to the URL anytime you redirect to error404.html. For example, in document bob.php, use your redirection mechanism to redirect to error404.php?file=bob. Notice that I changed the extension of error404.html to .php with the implication that it will need to be PHP if you want to read the value of the file variable. You could add a little text on that page to show that the 404 page is being displayed because of a redirection from the page 'bob.'

It is a pain. Maybe this should be a feature to be suggested to apache and php language.

Thanks for your reply.
