Actually, there are authorizations and copyright issues that limited the number of pages I accepted to go to the user. And this was changing pretty often (there is still one page not displayed because of this).

Actually, your solution is nicer for sure.

When you redirect an error page, don’t forget to set the error status in your page, otherwise the error is lost. You can add:
header(“Status: 404 Not Found”);

Why don’t you look for all files in the 404 directory and choose one of them?
$dir = “somewhere/404/”;
if (is_dir($dir)) {
if ($dth = opendir($dir)) {
while (($file = readdir($dth)) !== false) {
if (preg_match(‘/^404-.*\.php$/’, $file) == 1) {
$address_list[] = $dir . $file;
}
}
}
}
