layout and i would like to
a) display a message such as = "Page could not be found" and b) the url that the user originally typed should remain in the browser = I guess this would
be the case anyway but i was wondering if something needs to be done in
order to reatin the original address the user typed.

Does this have to be done from apache perspective or can it be done using
php. please suggest the procedure in either case apache OR php.

Both will be involed.

You will use what is referred to as the ErrorDocument entry.

Have apache enforce a customer ErrorDocument for a 404 error.

Then create a php script that is referred to by the ErrorDocument entry.

error404.php

<?php

echo "Page not found, check your spelling and try again.";

?>


please advice.

thanks.




With it being apache, you could also do it using SHTML (apache's subset of some simple extra tags to make files dynamic without having to load an entire PHP parser for it). But yes, it is as Jim Lucas posted; used quite a lot even.
