404error page (how to find actual link)

[laeelin]

I have a php page as the page that opens when you have a 404 error on the site, and I wanted to use a database to store the referring URL, the URL thats broken, and the date.

The function i'm useing to store this is:

function errorpages(){
	$date=date("Y-m-d",mktime()+3600);
	$to=$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
	$from=$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
	$query="INSERT INTO `errorspages` (`date` , `pageto` , `pagefrom` ) VALUES ('$date', '$to', '$from');";
	$SQLresult=mysql_query($query);
}

The date and referring URL appear to be working correctly, but the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] variable is giving me the URL for the 404 error page, not the page that was not found.

Anyone know how i can get the page that was not found?

Thanks
David

Could try:

$_SERVER['REDIRECT_URL']
