Question

I want to create a personalized 404 error page in php , I want to it works in localhost, as you know the localhost does not have .htaccess file !

Answer 1

You can create a .htaccess file in your localhost. Simply make sure it is in the root directory of your web server (I believe in WAMP, it's the www folder). In XAMPP, it's the htdocs folder

Then in your .htaccess file, you simply need something along the lines of:

ErrorDocument 404 /path/to/error/404/page
