I'm trying to issue a 404 header on one of my pages. But it does not
redirect. I figured, with many function calls before it, that it might
be outputting something to the screen before the header() command was
issued. So, I tried issuing a 404 header from a new page, consisting of
this code:
<?
header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
exit();
?>
or
<?
header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
?>
But neither of these work. Notice how there should also be no ouput to
the screen before the header is closed.
I've also tried:
<?
|header("Status: 404 Not Found");
?>
which gives the same results. The results are this: an output of
<html><head></head></html>. I'm on a large shared server, and my guess
is that when there is a bug with some code in php, the server chooses to
ouput this instead of the actual error code(s). I've experienced this
many times when I upload a page and there is a simple syntax error such
as one semi-colon missing from a statment. This is probably so that the
server doesn't get hacked.
If I try to issue both commands, in either order, I get this:
Not Found
The requested URL /cgi-sys/php.cgi/testing_server/404_error.php was not
found on this server.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while
trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
So....what's going on here? Am I to conclude that the 404 header does
not work, and that I should just use a Redirect: header() to my 404 page?
Best Regards,
