Custom 404 error pages

jesus_hairdo

I'm trying to do a custom 404 error page, what i want to do is to get the url the person was trying to get into my error page.
I have got my .htaccess setup so that any 404 errors redirects to a php script. This script just needs to print out, sorry $url does not exist....
How do i go about doing this??

Cheers

$URL = getenv("REQUEST_URI");

Thanks, works a treat.

on 2nd look what you suggested didn't work, it just printed the uri of the errorpage.
I found that using 'print $REDIRECT_URL' works OK. But as a cautionary note, it will only work if the errordocument url in your .htaccess file is not a full url,
ie.

ErrorDocument 404 http://trek/errorpages/error404.php

doesn't work, but

ErrorDocument 404 /errorpages/error404.php

does work.
