Catch All with PHP?

JustJay

Is there a way to possibly intercept a redirection to the 404 error page when the referrer comes from a certain folder/directory?

Reason: Before having the $ to do so a site was run on mine in a directory, but is now running on its own domain. I would like to redirect all hits to that directory, regardless of the page the hit is coming from?

I know that I can do 'if $referer = 'such and such' header: Location is such and such - but will that catch ALL from that directory?

Or is there a better way of going about this?

Thanks,

OK well I got a semi-fix going....

<?
// REDIRECT FROM CERTAIN FOLDER
$requested_url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

echo $requested_url;

if (substr($requested_url, 1, 3) == 'xxx') {
	echo ("<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=http://www.domain.com/redirect.php\" />");
	}
?>

I tried to use header("Location: http.....") but that would not work because the header was already defined --- so the code on the rest of the error page still processes - is there a way to prevent the rest of the code on that page from being parsed?

i think this is really more of a server issue than a php one. im no apache expert, but im sure you would get a better fix (assuming your using apache) by searching (or asking your question on) an apache board.

yes, you can do that through apache using the the ErrorDocument directives, such as

ErrorDocument 404 /path/to/file

the syntax is basically ErrorDocument (error number here) (and path to file)

check out this link for more information on it if you need it

But that would redirect ALL errors even the ones that I want to stay in my site? Correct?

yes, all errors of the error number specified would be redirected to the page you set it to.
