How do I make a a 404 error page like Viking Tapes' custom 404 error page, with the auto suggesting? See the link, you'll know what I mean.

Learn php, write a suggestions system

Use an opendir or something, index all files, and check them letter by letter to see if there close to the file spesified

The link you gave actually just uses an Apache feature...

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_negotiation.html

hmm another way (probley slower than the apache method) is to use pspell , add all the files to its dictionary then do a spell check on it.

OR, you could define the 404 Error page in a .htacces file lke this:

code:

---

ErrorDocument 404 /error404.htm

---

And then when a page doesn't excist it will redirect to error404.htm in the directory where you have the .htacces file

Example for my website:
http://www.tsdme.nl/bullshitpagethatisntthere.htm

EDIT: I didn't read the website you provided correctly, anywaay, this is how to redirect to a 404

or in cpanel it does it for you just give it the code in the error pages section

both of you it may help if you looked at the website first , he wasnt asking how to do 404 pages he was asking how to do 404 pages which suggest what file the user wanted.

Yeah, I found out about that later , but I didn't delete my post because it's a easy way to make a custom 404, and someone might learn something
