error catching

[Anon]

I am interested in catching a standard browser "404 page not found" error with php and displaying a custom error page to the user. Are there built in php functions that can handle this? Should I maybe look to environmental variables?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

for apache add the following in httpd.conf:
ErrorDocument 404 /custom_404.php

I did and it didn't work... I added it below this line:

ErrorLog logs/error.log

is the placement important... also on my localhost it is HTTP 500 Internal Server Error, not 404...

thanks for your assistance.

ok, so I moved it down to where there is some commmented text that talks about ErrorDocument lines... and it works in Netscape 4.7 but not in IE 5.0...

any thoughts on that?
