Display General 404 Error Page

If I have a static page at World/index.php that displays pages where the URL's match database values (e.g. MySite/World/New_York), I can write a query that fetches a 404 error page when visitors type in incorrect URL's (e.g. New_Yorc).

But if someone misspells the section name - e.g. MySite/Wurld - they're completely out of the loop. In Chrome, I get a generic error:

Not Found The requested URL /Wurld/ was not found on this server.

How can I create an error page that will display sitewide in every instance where my regular 404 pages don't display?

(I'm working with PHP and MySQL.)

Simply create an 404.php file with your error message and add this line to your .htaccess file located on the root of your server

ErrorDocument 404 /404.php

all "page not found" pages will be automatically redirected to 404.php
