display custom 404 error page without redirection in PHP

Question

I created custom 404 error page called error.php, now I want to display the error.php content in user entered url.like this link: http://www.youtube.com/asdfasfsd

This is my htaccess code:

ErrorDocument 404 https ://localhost/path/error.php

I want to show the error.php content in same URL without redirect to error.php page

if user typed invalid url (for example:https ://localhost/path/nnn.php)

current result:redirecting to error.php

expected result:display error.php content in https ://localhost/path/nnn.php

My full htaccess code:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

RewriteRule index.html$ index.php [L]
RewriteRule service.html$ service.php [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)\.html$ about.php?pid=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^cont/([^/]*)\.html$ contact-inner.php?tid=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^contact/([^/]*)/([^/]*)\.html$ contact-page.php?tid=$1&ona=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^about/([^/]*)\.html$ about-inner.php?oid=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^service/([^/]*)/([^/]*)\.html$ service-page.php?oid=$1&ona=$2 [L]

Please remove your ErrorDocument rule and replace it with following code :

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ error.php [L]

A suggestion by the way: You should put a [L] behind RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} , so that no other rule will override the HTTPS-enforcement.

Your .htaccess will then look like this:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L]

RewriteRule index.html$ index.php [L]
RewriteRule service.html$ service.php [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)\.html$ about.php?pid=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^cont/([^/]*)\.html$ contact-inner.php?tid=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^contact/([^/]*)/([^/]*)\.html$ contact-page.php?tid=$1&ona=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^about/([^/]*)\.html$ about-inner.php?oid=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^service/([^/]*)/([^/]*)\.html$ service-page.php?oid=$1&ona=$2 [L]


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ error.php [L]
