so I want to create my own 404 page, so that whenever somebody types in the wrong sub-adress to my main domain, it not only showes them a web page regardless, but also a bit of text in witch it sais : page (insert whatever the guy typed here) not found.

but I want it to detect what the person typed in their browser's search bar. so that its done by itself and I don't have to make an infinite ammount of pages.

is this possible ?

 

how can I make it so that it alwais gets to this page if some random sub-adress is typed ?

If you're hosting on your own server, I don't think its possible as lighttpd and some other webserver software only allows plain .html (no php etc) files to be used for error pages.

in the root of your sites directory create a file called .htaccess if it doesn't exist and add the line

<code>

ErrorDocument 404 http://your-domain.com/your-error-page

</code>

Then if a request comes in and the server cant find the resource, it will serve your error page.

Nope, not for htaccess. But for getting the page you will need PHP or some overly fancy javascript. Off the top of my head, on the error page have something like 

<?php

echo $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];

?>

 

in the body of the page. 

I am good at computer

<?php
echo htmlentities(parse_url($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], PHP_URL_HOST));
?>

But not sure if the Sub domain also is in there

 

else 

<?php
echo htmlentities($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
?>

 

Htmlentites make's a decent defense against people that want to inject malicious code while accessing your website, by changing the header.

You could probably do more, but this is a start.

so my page would be : 

  

<html>
	<body>
	<p>
      error404whatever page : 
      	<?php
		echo $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
		?>
	  not found
	</p>
    </body>
 </html>

?

and it should display the text, then whatever adress is typed, then not found ?

YOU DON'T NEED PHP!

I did something similar once, in JS. For the whole link, there is the constant 'location'. If you want it without the protocol (http, ftp, file etc.) and the domain (www.linustechtips.com for example), just the '/main/topic/...' part then you have 'location.pathname'. There are few more of those in JS, but that should be all you need.

 

Edit: 'location' returns 'location.href' by default, but it might be good to made it specific by adding the '.href' part.

hostinger allows for custom pages. if you login in and go thre "website" section there is an option called "error pages" this allows you to edit the pages as you see fit.
