views argument in the empty text field

Question

hi. i am using the views 2 module. i have a view that gets a taxonomy term as an argument. i want my view to display a text, in case there are no found items, "Cannot find any $args[0]". where $args[0] is the view argument. but i cant figure out a way to add php code to the empty text configuration, i can see it supports filtered and full html, but no php code option. any help ? and if we are on the subject, how can i add a view page display that has an argument to a drupal menu ?

If you want to run php code in order to create your markup, you should really do it in a custom module, which is probably the reason that views doesn't support it. You could create a custom module, and do the check yourself and use views_embed_view to display the view you want, or just create the page yourself if the argument is not found or invalid.
