404 pages have nothing to do with php coding. All errors are handled by the webserver.
Are you using Apache or IIS?

Apache and umm what i want to do is like this
http://www.google.com/adawdawd
because some users bookmark a certain url like
www.freecookies.com/pages.php
and if its renamed or deleted .. it should show a page not found thing..

Then you either edit that line to point to your 404 file, or you just edit the file it's currently using.
After you edit the file, you will need to restart the Apache service before the change will take effect.

Change the line so that it points to your new 404 page. Most properly configured Apache servers allow you to put .htaccess files in the root of your website, where you can define this type of stuff. So if you create a page called "Error404.html" in the root of your website, you can just put: ErrorDocument 404 /Error404.html inside a .htaccess file, and now every time a user requests a page that does not exist on that website, your "Error404.html" page will be shown.

Actually, if it is renamed or moved, you should return a 301 error and redirect them to the new page. The 301 error tells the browser that the page has been moved permanently, and if they have bookmarked the old URL that they should update the bookmark. (Not sure if browsers actually honor that last bit.)

You need to remove the comment character (#). save the file & restart.
You should spend a good half an hour to an hour reading over all of the options of the httpd.conf config file. It'll explain in painfully exact detail how to use it, & make your webserver perform how you wish.
