forcing 404 error.

Hikari

I'm trying to force my index.php to force a 404 error with php (unless some conditions are met, but thats not important). However I cannot get it to work. I took a look at the headers being sent by the server and it looks like this:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sat, 02 Nov 2002 17:42:25 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.26 (Win32)
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.2.2
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html

So, I just did

Header("HTTP/1.0 404");

But it always returns a 500 internal server error. I tried exiting; it, and other things. Is there a specific way I can make it return a 404 error?

<?php
header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
?>

or php 3:
header("Status: 404 Not Found");

Nope :/

Didn't work -> http://nuu-its.mine.nu

Hmmmm...interesting. It worked over here...

It may be something to do with the way PHP is configured on the server.

What version of PHP are you using?

Try it with HTTP/1.1. It didn't work for me with 1.0 either.

<?php 
header("HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found"); 
?>

Nope, didn't work.

I'm using:

Server: Apache/1.3.26 (Win32)
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.2.2

shrug Its probably the config. I wonder if I can force the 404 with apache.

I'm running Apache 1.3.27 (Unix) with PHP/4.2.3 and it's working just fine.

Have you tried it using a diff. client machine or a diff. browser?
