This is useful.

Seems to work for main page, but did not work for this case:

Page on web site is: TrialBSCbscr.htm


I typed in: http://www.mysite.lunarpages.com/trialbscr.htm
but got the Page not found message.

How can I extend the code to handle this?

(and also how could I include a home page link on the Page not found message?)

I'm new to php

There is no way to handle that unless you want to try all possible combinations of capitalisation, which would just be silleh.

I get some hits from people who forget to turn off caps lock, and you get INDEX.PHP

yea, but I thought you were talking about why would people want to use this script. (Ok, I'm sick today so I cn't think   )

 I have worked out a system that will always redirect the url typed in to the best match. - and will work for your case

So /TeSt_ThIs would be directed to Test_this, or to TEST_THIS or whichever is on your site.

Truncated urls will also be redirected to the nearest match.

so /thishouldbeapage  is redirected to /thishouldbeapage.html

Test it on my site by altering any URL capitalisation to see what you get.

You can download this from the Perl area of my site:

I realize this discussion is old, but thanks to Google I just found it.

For some reasons, I am not able to get Peter's PHP/Perl scripts to work.
Instead, I receive an Internal Server Error 500 when trying to access any path with the incorrect case.
===========================================================
And if it helps, here is the URL it displays in the address bar when I get the 500:

http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/error.pl?request=http://www.domain.com/photos/BillGates/Google/
Of course, the last URL is what I typed. The actual folder names are:
http://www.domain.com/PHOTOS/BillGates/Google
============================================================
And here is the error:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@domain.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
============================================================
Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I Know this is old but, I found it pretty helpful. I run a directory website and people type in wrong things all the time. Thanks for the link and Thread. See you around.
