Description:
------------
The sample code to return 404 is incorrect for FastCGI mode. in FastCGI mode it would return 200, unless "header('Status: 404 File not found');" would be added. This means 'Status: *' is the third special-case header call besides 'HTTP/1.*' and 'Location: *'

Test script:
---------------
<?php
header('Status: 404 Dead beef.')
?>
This will return 404 for FastCGI request.

<?php
header('HTTP/1.0 404 Dead beef.')
?>
This will return 404 for CGI request.

You need to specify both to get code working under all circumstances.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
