fishes

I have a dynamic website with friendly URLs. Example:

Instead of /user.php?id=123, I have /user/123
Instead of /index.php?category=fishes, I have /fishes

But, how do I handle non-existent subdirectories such as /about/123? Currently it gives a 200 success instead of a 404 not found error. Is there a way to deal with non-existent subdirectories in Apache config and at the same time allow for friendly URLs? Or do I have to handle this individually for each PHP script?

: CodeIgniter's code sounds actually quite good for usability - if it can't find a page, it takes you to the category where that page is likely to be rather than returning nothing. Pages

If you ensured all the wanted folder names were present in the regex list then all others could be redirected to a 404 page using this .htaccess script:

# If friendly URL dynamic folder not present in URL then respond HTTP 404
RewriteRule ^(user|fishes) - [R=404]
