My HTACCESS code is this

ErrorDocument 404 /404.php

It is working well. What I want is when some one types a bad URL like (www.website.com/sometest.html)

In the case that "sometest.html" page does not exit and it will re-direct to the 404 page. But how can I detect what URL they typed? I want to get this: www.website.com/sometest.html

I have tried $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] and $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]; both can't get the output that I'm looking for.

Apache sets some environment variables for you. They were nice enough to let you know about it in the documentation.

Try using $_SERVER["REDIRECT_URL"] and $_SERVER["REDIRECT_QUERY"] in your script.

  • like here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13666079/get-original-url-for-404-page $_SERVER["REDIRECT_URL"] worked for me. others where telling to use the referer but this is depending on the browser does send a referer and the server uses a location-header to redirect to the 404 page.. – René W.
