Custom "listingsRecord not found!" page

We have a stock list that changes everyday. The database is wiped and then re-populated. What this means is that any products picked up by a search engine will point at a page which no longer exists. This itself is not a problem as the stock turns over so fast that that listing is no longer relevant. However it would be good to get a visitor from the search engine to go to the main product page if the old page no longer exists. At the moment all that is displayed is:
listingsRecord not found!
Any suggestions on the best way to go about this?
Many thanks

You should see some code similar to this in your viewer:
// show error message if no matching record is found
if (!$your_tableRecord) {
header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
print "Record not found!";
exit;
}Just change Record not found! to any text you want to appear. I'm not sure how you would include a link or any styling on that message, but I know that you can accomplish that also. If I find out how, I'll revise this post.

// redirect to homepage if no matching record is found
if (!$your_tableRecord) {
header("Location: http://www.mysite.com/");
exit;
}I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.

I guess I should have looked at page 40 in my own cookbook.
