[RESOLVED] Custom 404 with redirects for page name shortcuts

[Square1]

Hi all:

I am switching my site over from ASP classic to PHP. I am using my 404 asp page to redirect url shortcuts. Meaning, there is no page on my site called http://www.MySite.com/Shortcut but when this goes to my 404 asp page the following code redirects it:

clientID = mid(lcase(Replace((Request.Querystring),":80","")),5)
SELECT CASE clientID

CASE "http://www.MySite.com/Shortcut"
response.redirect "../shortcut.asp"

CASE ELSE
response.redirect "../msc/msc_errors.asp?Error=badpage&Trace="&Replace(Request.Servervariables("QUERY_STRING"),":80","")&""

I found this code on the web and it works great. I am trying to duplicate this for PHP without success.

$clientID = strpos(strtolower(str_replace(":80","",$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])),5);

switch ($clientID){
	case "http://www.MySite.com/shortcut":
		header('Location: ../shortcut.php');
		break;

	default:	
		header('Location: ../msc/mscErrors.php?error=badPage&trace='.str_replace(":80","",$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']));

I am just getting "The page isn't redirecting properly" errors

Is there a better way to accomplish this?

Thank you!

Got it

$clientID = substr(str_replace(":80","",$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]),4);
