php full retard

Trying to create a simple script that redirects a 404 error to another page,
hoping someone can tell me why this does not append the variable to url.. gunna kick myself i know (don't say i need to do something in .htaccess)

<?

/* Redirect to a different page than that was requested */

$userstypo = explode('/', parse_url($userstypo, PHP_URL_PATH));

$userstypo = end($userstypo);

$host  = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

$uri   = rtrim(dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), '/\\');

$extra = 'some-dir';

header("Location: http://$host$uri/$extra/$userstypo");
exit;
?>

want to send them to: domain.com/dir/$userstypo if they go domain.com/$userstypo if that makes sense.

Apologies for me shite php...

ta.

.htaccess file in your web root.

ErrorDocument 404 /404.php

Change the 404.php to the other php page

That's assuming it's apache. NGinx will be a bit different. Not sure what.

I really need this to work independent of htaccess settings if possible.

If anyone wants to do this work for some paypal let me know.

Have you tried to echo $userstypo - to see if that has what you want in it?

Im not on the main PC yet so cant see but is the PHP_URL_PATH calling the path of your 404 file. if your server has automatically redirected to 404.php
see if you can pull the referring url.
Also try echoing the header url to see what its building might be stuck in a loop
