The script can be called using a single ‘include statement’ within any standard .php page on your site (eg. your Home page). However, your cron jobs will only run once per day – on the first request after midnight.

Requirements
PHP4+

Since I had no desire to be swamped with Error 404 emails every time
someone made typing error in the address bar of their browser, I opted to place control of exactly when a notification email is sent in the hands of the site visitors.

When they hit an error page, they have the option of notifying you via a ‘Send Error Report’ button on the generated error page. The system then sends you an automatically generated email with, hopefully, all of the relevant information you need to start tracking down any real errors – such as broken links etc.

If you would prefer customised error pages without the email option, simply switch it off via the appropriate variable in the system’s configuration file.

Version 3 includes basic anti-spam protection as well as options to display the page requested and suggest an alternative page. The latter can come in very handy if you’ve just switched a batch of pages from htm to html.

Requirments:
PHP 4+
Apache
