Question

How can I redirect such link (below) to 404 error page?

http://www.blabla.com/category/sub/.html

I generate a SEO friendly links, normally products has url like blabla.com/category/sub/product.html

the page doesnt give any error. it just display blank content. I mean i can see static texts like CATEGORY NAME header and but there is no dynamic categoryname next to that, because of url is wrong and cant get record from db. page doesnt display dynamic contents, but display static contents

Appreciate helps!! thanks

if the query don’t result any row, you can set the header for 404 – not found and redirect to a 404 page

for example:

<?php    

    //$rows is the num_rows of the query
    if ($rows > 0) {    
      //your code here    
    } else {    
      header("HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found"); 
      header("Location: 404.html");
      exit();
    }

?>
