Sending a 404 Header

with PHP

[Nick_W]

Hi all,

Just checking and have discovered that this is not working as intended:

function page_not_found() {
  header("HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found");
  exit;
}

I call it when somthing goes awry in the code but when I check it, it's returning 200 OK

Anyone?

Just check if there is any thing getting echoed before this function is being called.

Header have to go out before any thing else does.

Also try

header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");

I'd not bother with the function since its only one line, makes for easier reading regardless of caffeine ;)

I'd agree BOL if that was the real function! ;)

I only included the important bit heh!
