The default Apache error handler is not called when PHP sends a 404 header. The code that does Apache error handling happens *before* PHP gets in the loop, and checks to see if the script being referenced exists, which it indeed does, whether it sends a 404 header or not.

Tested on Apache 2.2 with PHP 5.1.

If you really want to get the default Apache error handler to appear then either readfile() it or redirect to it.

well, you typically would redirect 404 to something like foo.com/404.html

Otherwise, it's whatever your server (apache/IIS) has as the default
404 handler...

Default is something like this:

              Not Found

              The requested URL /asdf was not found on this server.
              Apache Server at foo.org Port 80

In other words, if you want Firefox/Opera/etc to display something, you
have to output something. Strange, that. :P

Then it's working....FireFox, et. al. show you the server 404, IE on
the otherhand has it's own 404 error page (for those newbies who don't
know what a 404 is). You can disable it under IE options.

Are you seeing the IE-specific 404 page? The one that looks like this:

Hi,
I'm using following construction to send http status code
--------------
header('HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found');
header("Status: 404 Not Found");
exit;
--------------

MSIE displays "Page not found", but FireFox and Opera don't display
anything. Just blank page with no text...

full headers sent by this script (and server itself) are:

--------------
Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2006 18:02:49 GMT
Server: Apache/2.0.55 (Debian) PHP/4.4.0-4 mod_ssl/2.0.55 OpenSSL/0.9.8a
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.1.2
Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=99
Connection: Keep-Alive
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: text/html

404 Not Found
--------------

can anyone tell me, why those two browsers are not affected?
