remove slash from text

[daniel77]

Hi guys

I am trying to make a 404 page display the end of the url without the slash.

I currently have this code in my 404.shtml page:

PHP Code:

<!--#echo var="REQUEST_URI" --> 


when I type http://www.test.com/Sydney

it shows the text as: /Sydney

Is there any way to just show: Sydney (without the slash)

example

It can't be done the way I was doing it, but found another way to do it with php.

PHP Code:

 <?
echo substr($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"],1);
?>
