.htaccess 404 redirection and keep query string

Question

I try to redirect all http query on my website like "http://www.example.com/abcd" (that generate 404 error) to "http://www.example.com/error.php?e=abcd" (to keep the abcd request in a database)

I tried to find a way with .htaccess file, but nothing work fine :(

I tried something like this :

ErrorDocument 404 http://www.example.com/error.php?e=$1

I know I have to do some RewriteCond and RewriteRule stuffs, but I don't know how to use is properly

Thanks

You should remove http://... to avoid full redirection i.e.:

ErrorDocument 403 /error.php?e=403
ErrorDocument 404 /error.php?e=404

Now you can get original 404 causing URI using:

$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]=/abcd

while $_GET['e'] will give you code 404,403 etc in case you want to have some logic based on this.
