Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.header
---

    <varlistentry>
     <term><parameter>http_response_code</parameter></term>
     <listitem>
      <para>
       Forces the HTTP response code to the specified value. Note that this 
       parameter only has an effect if the <parameter>string</parameter> is 
       not empty.
      </para>
     </listitem>
    </varlistentry>

should be at least


    <varlistentry>
     <term><parameter>http_response_code</parameter></term>
     <listitem>
      <para>
       Forces the HTTP response code to the specified value. Note that this 
       parameter only has an effect if the <parameter>http_response_code</parameter> is 
       not empty.
      </para>
     </listitem>
    </varlistentry>

I wonder if there should be sentence "is not null" rather than "is not empty".

It talks about the first parameter named $string. I've renamed it to $header which is also its name in the sources: https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/9edf2e9f/ext/standard/head.c#L37
