redirect with .htaccess

[cyberwolf14]

Hello

I want to redirect anyone who goes to a page that does not exist to index.php?page using .htaccess

for example:
Someone goes to:

http://myserver.com/file.html

that file does not exists so I want to redirect hem to

http://myserver.com/index.php?file.html

Is this possible??

No, but you can do this:

ErrorDocument 404 /index.php

Then in /index.php, you can use the variable $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] which would contain the requested URI, in your case /file.html. //Daniel

I tried that but it didn't work. $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] returns /index.php instead of /file.html

That is odd, since it is working fine on my server... What version of PHP and Apache are you running? //Daniel

Are you using PHP as an Apache module, or as a CGI binary? I ask this because I have done just what danielhozac suggested many times and it has worked flawlessly. Please post the exact PHP code you are using, and perhaps the relevant portion of your httpd.conf file.

Anyway, if this for some reason still doesn't work, you can definitely use mod_rewrite to handle this problem. Let me know if you want any help with a rewrite rule. -------------------------------------------
