404 get URL of page

[NANO3]

how do i get the URL of the page that the person tried to access on the 404?

such as

http://google.com/niraj

look at that page and notice the url

the url is still google.com/niraj

and the page says

/niraj could not be found..

Depends on what you're using. In PHP I believe you can use $REQUEST_URI.

Otherwise... http://www.alistapart.com/articles/perfect404/ may help. It's in JavaScript - not my first choice to do something like this, but if you're limited on language options it's a place to start.

$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] works
