How with PHP/CGI... could I:
Check if the page exists that the user goes to, if not then show the 404 page

I dont know what script it would use :(

That is webservers default behavior,You can make your apache webserver to point to a particular page for a particular error though.

I downloaded a php script for it. Just need to wait until the new server is up.

Wont work!

.htaccess file looks like this

# Error page config
Options -Indexes
ErrorDocument 403 "You may not access this page".
ErrorDocument 404 public_html/404.htm
ErrorDocument 500 "Server Error"

It depends upon how the server is set-up though the following should work; obviously change the "somefilename.htm" to your error message webpage.

ErrorDocument 404 /somefilename.htm
