any one no howe to get the function

 

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

 

to work?

Moving this to the Programming Forum.

 

Thanks.

 

BTW: Dont understand what you mean? probably has to be used within a if and else statement. if this page is true, go, if false, 404 function ?

i mean when i try to use the function it does not work.all i get is a blank page when i should get a 404 document.

Probably because the Error Setting is not configured in Apache. You probably have to set it up. It default setting is Off.

 

Can't you just use the easy way, 404.shtml and so on file?

how would i config apache error settings?

Edit the httpd.conf file and turn the error codes on. Also must have the Error Files, or create yours.

 

All that might not be necessary. Try creating a 404.shtml file in W:/www and test that function again..

tryed craeting a 404.shtml and it does not load when i load a page which is not there.

Thats funny.. it does here.. tired it once.. i will give it a test as soon as i can

THere is also a way using .htaccess that you can set the error page.

Thats true, rather than editing the httpd.conf file you can put it in the .htaccess file.
