Okay on a site im doing (calm) i have set up error.php which covers most errors by error.php?type=404 etc.

I have it so it emails with the error code, and i want to show the url which generated the code, but instead of showing what is displayed in the url
http://calm.dansgalaxy.co.uk/igvjrkbnkfbn

for php_self of course it echos error.php and the refer shows blank

So how can i show the url?!!?! gr its bugging me now!

A browser can be setup to not show the referral URL. The best thing for you to do would be one of these:

1) store the URL which generates the error in a session variable, or
2) redirect and include the originating URL (e.g. error.php?type=404&source=badspot.com/weird-script.php )

Well this is the thing its not redirecting!

as you can see it would show doamin/blfvejib but SHOW error.php?type=404

at the moment im using htacess error doc 404 /error.php?type=404 to do my thing

is there a way i can tell it the offending url throught this??

the url in error is sent to the error handling page in $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] and takes the form of HTTPResponseCode;RequestedURL

so a Not Found response (404) the querystring would be

404;http://sitename/folder/page.ext

Sorry could you say that a bit slower?

so how would i use this to get the offending url? because just tried $_server['query_string'] but that only shows me type=404

so how do i use this?

Don't set an error type in YOUR querystring and just use the server generated one

What?

explain?... the error type is set through htaccess so it can identify which method to show so i dont have to have sepereate files for each error...
