Adding 404 Server Header Via Php
Hi,
Anyone know how to change the below code so that any pages that returned the system generated 404 page would also return a 404 "not found" server header?
$error404 = '<p style="font-size:15px;font-weight:bold;">Error 404 - page does not exist</p><p>Contact the <a href="mailto:'.$row_site_control['mailto'].'">systems administrator</a> to report this</p>';
Thanks.

This code should work for you:
<?phpheader("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
?>

Hi programmer,
How is the above integrated into
$error404 = '<p style="font-size:15px;font-weight:bold;">Error 404 - page does not exist</p><p>Contact the <a href="mailto:'.$row_site_control['mailto'].'">systems administrator</a> to report this</p>';so that the 404 server header only affects the 404 page?

Want me to post the whole header file?

Headers usually go at the top of the file and have to be declared before any output.
You can read more about it on the header function manual page:

Yes, I know that,
My problem is that the header is included in all pages, with just one line which specifys the content for a server error (404) (code shown above), It therefore looks like its going to be quite complicated to achieve as I cant just 404 the main header because it will return a not found header for the entire site.

That function sends the 404 message in the page HTTP headers, not to be confused with your header template if you have one.
My header() function can go anywhere in your code as long as you haven't sent anything to the browser yet. If there is no way to call the header() statement before anything is printed, you may want to look into output buffering.
