Question

To make a long story short, I have dynamic pages on a website that display reviews. If there are no reviews associated with a particular city/county/area/etc the mysql query

Answer 1

Trying redirecting using a 307 or 301 with a location header

Answer 2

Your problem has nothing to do with what you include: It's that your page is too small.

In my experience, Chrome's built-in "Oops" page is displayed, like the one in Internet Explorer, when the page emits only the 404 header and less than a defined number of bytes of content (I think it's 512 bytes in IE, don't know the limit in Chrome).

I tend to pad my 404 pages with a few hundred bytes of meaningless content wrapped in HTML comments to make sure the custom 404 page is displayed.

Or of course, use the opportunity for some cool ASCII Art!
