404 Page
Thanks to scriptygoddess I have a little bit better 404 page. It is now more dynamic and will automatically redirect you from the .html page to the .php page if it exists. I have to do a few more modifications…

404 redirect
if you changed the extension of the pages on your site, but didn’t change any paths or names, this is a trick to get your error pages to redirect people to the php-page when they try to display the html-dito.

Amazing. I can’t believe how well this works. And how I, a non-techie, fairly newbie could get it to work without a hitch. Thank you Kristine.

Great script, I have a serious question tho,
Is it possible to script a redirect if someone changes a filename from, example:
page_1.php to page-1.php
and have a redirect to the new page?
Similar to above script but instead of it looking for html extension it looks for underscores and changes them?
I have several people that would be really interested..
thanks

Another, slightly different way of doing the same thing:

//get the page searched for.
$root=$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"];
$page = parse_url($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]);
$page=$page[path];

//find the extension of current page
$ext_array =explode(”.”,$page);
$last = count($ext_array) - 1;
$ext = $ext_array[$last];

$real404 = 1;

if ($ext==”html”) {
$ext = “.$ext”;
$page=str_replace($ext,”",$page);
$extpage=$page.”.php”;
if (file_exists($root.$extpage)) {
$real404 = 0;
include “$extpage”;
}
}
if($real404) {
?>

Page Not Found

If possible, the browser will try redirecting you to the appropriate place. Otherwise, the file you clicked isn't found!
Try going to the index page

}
?>
