Custom errorpages with .htaccess and PHP

Howdy!

I'm trying to create my own custom errorpages with .htaccess refferring to a php document. So I searched on google and now I know that I have to use the line
ErrorDocument 404 /error.php?c=404
But then I get a problem... My server is returning an error 500: internal server error...
It works fine when I point my browser directly to the error.php file...
I don't seem to find the solution... I will post my code below. Can anyone help me please?

PHP Code:


		
			
<?

include "session.php";

header("Pragma: no-cache");

$title = "Spongy Kickin Yo Ass ::: Fout";



// Bad request

$errmsg['400'] = "De URL die je hebt opgevraagd heeft een \"Bad Request\" opgeleverd.<br />

                  Het probleem is waarschijnlijk opgelost terwijl je dit zit te lezen.";

// Ongemachtigd

$errmsg['401'] = "De URL die je hebt opgevraagd, heeft een autorisatie nodig.";

// Verboden

$errmsg['403'] = "Toegang tot deze URL is verboden.";

// HTML CODE TO APPEAR WHEN A DOCUMENT NOT FOUND HAPPENS

$errmsg['404'] = "De URL is niet gevonden.<br />

                  Of je hebt het verkeerde adres ingetypt, of deze link doet het niet meer.<br />

                  Gebruik in het laatste geval de ideeënbus en geef precies aan om welke link het gaat.";

// HTML CODE TO APPEAR WHEN AN UNKNOWN ERROR OCCURS

$errmsg['000'] = "De URL die je hebt opgevraagd heeft een onbekende fout opgeleverd.<br />

                  Het probleem is waarschijnlijk opgelost terwijl je dit zit te lezen.";



$titel = "Fout ".$_GET['c'];

$tekst = $errmsg[$_GET['c']];

include "header.php";

print "<div id=\"titel\">".$titel."</div>";

print "<div id=\"tekst\">".$tekst."</div>";

include "footer.php";



?>

Cheers

I suspect it's the query string. Try removing ?c=404 from the end of the filename and see if that solves your problem.
