404 error tracking in PHP

[James Smith]

OK.

I have htaccess redirect 404's to notfound.php

In it, i echo $REDIRECT_URL, which according to the Apache manual and the PHP manual should echo the offending page. But it seems to turn up nothing.

I am using php3

my code is :

<?php


echo("$REDIRECT_URL");

mail("funky_friars@hotmail.com", "404 error on site", "$REDIRECT_URL");


?>

whya noa worka ?

you never say what redirect_url is, the variable = 0 so it send you 0 and redirects you to the directory.

Also you might want it ot email you the site from where the person reached this site
