Hello,

Currently when a listing is deleted and therefore the web page no longer exists, a blank white page is just displayed with the following message, "listingsRecord not found!"

Is there any way I can change this web page so that I can display a 404 error message, with the correct 404 or 410 HTTP response code?

Thank you,
Greg

Hi Greg,

There are a couple of approaches. If you just need the 404 header, you can use the dieWith404() function. For example:

dieWith404("Listing not found!");

If you have a 404 page that you would like to send them to, you can redirect them like this:

redirectBrowserToURL("404.php");

Hope this helps

Hi Greg,

First you need a file to redirect them to. 404.php is just an example, you can replace this with whatever file you like.

Basically, you do the redirect after you've determined that a listing wasn't found.

For example:

if (!$listing) {
redirectBrowserToURL("404.php");
exit
}

You would just replace your current die() statement with the redirect code.

Hope this helps
