Upon reading the brief statement you made about using Error404 for running a PHP script in this article:
http://www.freebsddiary.org/oclug.php
I decided to try it out. The problem I found was with Microsoft browsers that were set to 'Use Friendly HTTP Error Messages'. I believe, because the Apache server still sends back a HTTP/1.0 404, Microsoft Internet Explorer then displays it's generic and very simple error message saying the file could not be found. If that option is disabled, it works fine. It also works fine in Netscape, and in Lynx (however, in Lynx, it still does say in the
status bar "File Not Found", then continues and proceeds to load your error page. So, I think the problem is that Microsoft decided to not even display the error message the server produces, and just made its own.
Is there a way to get Apache to send back a 201, or whatever it is, instead of a 404? Or how would one get around this problem? Or can PHP send a second header or something, or one that receeds the Apache 404 header? I'm not really sure how this works...
Thanks for any information you can provide,
