read url

[Anon]

I have wildcarts on on my site, and write a forward service.

Now i want to read out the rest of the typed url

example: www.example.mobron.nl/rest/typed

If i type this, i get a 404 error.

How has same ideas,

running apache whit php3

my idea (maybe not the best, but the one i know):
insert the line
"ErrorDocument 404 http://www.example.mobron.nl/missing.php3"
into your ".htaccess"-file.
then create the file "missing.php3", in which you can get the called page by
$REQUEST_URI
e.g.: when you try to get www.example.mobron.nl/ab/cd/ you'll be redirected
to missing.php3 and $REQUEST_URI will contain "ab/cd/". then you can
parse this string and redirect/forward

hope that helps

sorry: think it should not be $REQUEST_URI but $HTTP_REFERER instead...

Michael : this won't work... i dunno why, but on my server, it doesn't... the http referer variable isn't set...
you have to do something like this :
in your .htaccess file, you put :
ErrorDocument 404 /redirect.php
(so, without the http, because you don't want a redirecttion)
then, in your redirect.php, you can use the $REQUEST_URI to redirect to the right page...
for instance: someone goes to http://domain.tld/whatever
then $REQUEST_URI will contain "/whatever". get rid of the "/", then select the right URL from the database, and do a http redirect to that URL - this should work fine.

hope this helps,
