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

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

Thanks for the reply.
I'd like to use the second code you provided:
redirectBrowserToURL("404.php");
Where would I insert that? Does it go in init.php or maybe into my listingDetail.php page?
Thanks again,
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
