Here is a little PHP code snippet to add to your 404 page, in order to get an email alert with all sorts of useful data, each time a 404 page is accessed.

if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])) {
    $ref=$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
}
else{
	$ref='none';
}
 
$sitename='Reflection Media';
 
$recipient = 'mail@gmail.com';
$subject = 'New '.$sitename.' 404 accessed';
$mail_body = '
A new 404 page has been accessed:
 
The accessed URI was: '.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'].'
The user's IP address: '.$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].'
The user's Internet browser: '.$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'].'
The URI from where your user came: '.$ref.'
';
$header = 'From: '.$sitename.' 404 page rn';
 
mail($recipient, $subject, $mail_body, $header);
