/************************************************/
/* written by A. Gianotto - 3/28/2000 */
/* To find out if this is the latest version */
/* of this script, email snipe@snipe.net, or */
/* visit http://www.snipe.net */
/************************************************/
/* You can see this script in use by going to */
/* http://www.snipe.net/blarginflarn.html */
/* (That page doesn't exist, so you will come */
/* to a custom 404 page which then uses this */
/* program.) */
/************************************************/
/************************************************/
/* PHPLinkRot may be used freely for private */
/* or commercial use. All I ask is that you */
/* don't include it in any collections without */
/* my permission. */
/************************************************/
/************************************************/
/* DESCRIPTION: */
/* This program can be used in */
/* conjunction with a custom 404 page. */
/* */
/* It simply gets the referring URL and prints */
/* a form that allows the user to quickly send */
/* the site administrator notification of the */
/* broken link. It also allows the user to */
/* send their name and email address with the */
/* notification, as well as a short comment, */
/* to allow the site administrator to send the */
/* user the correct URL if they choose to. */
/************************************************/
/************************************************/
/* INSTALLATION: */
/* There is no readme or install file with */
/* script, because it's so easy to install, */
/* you just have to follow the comments in the */
/* first part of the code */
/************************************************/
/************************************************/
// make this point to your header file. rename the file
// and the path to point to the correct file on your server
// If you do not use a header or footer file, simply replace
// the header and footer includes with the proper HTML code
// for your site
include("/usr/home/your-site.com/html/inc/header.inc");
// Enter the website administrators email address here
$adminaddress = "you@your-site.com";
// Enter the company name or site name here
$sitename = "your-site.com";
// Enter the address of your website here
$siteaddress ="http://www.your-site.com";
// Unless you are changing the verbage of the printed message,
// there are no further configurations that need to be done
// past this point, except editing the path to your footer includes
// If you do not use header and footer files, you can just replace
// the include calls with your HTML, but be sure to close the PHP tags
// before and after the HTML, so you don't get parse errors.
