Question

A quick question. I want to use a php file that will deliver pages based on the url. I am using htacess to deal with the error docs but my question is to do with SEO. If I redirect a 404/403 request to pageDispacher.php that then delivers the correct page will the header be a 404/403 at any point? As this is not cool. Do I need to use a rewrite rule instead?

In which case is there is a genuine 404 page how would i return a 404 header?

http://www.example.com > http://www.example.com/en/home

http://www.example.com/en/ > http://www.example.com/en/home

ErrorDocument 404 /pageDispacher.php
ErrorDocument 403 /pageDispacher.php

Answer 1

This is usable:

RewriteRule ^error error.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.php$ error[L,QSA]
