Should it? Is it possible to write a doesexists.php script which would cause the 404 directive to be triggered?

I also tried: header("Status: 404 Not Found"); but this did not work either.


Try searching the archives for this list, I'm sure this question, or one
very similar to it, was asked and answered fairly recently.

I believe I found the thread you were referring to, but it does not provide the answer that I found actually works.

Since my goal is _strictly_ and _only_ to get the 404 directive triggered and _absolutely_ nothing more, the solution I found was for doesexists.php to use the Location directive to redirect to a page which I know does not exist.

This, obviously, triggers the 404 directive as I wanted.

Problem solved.
