    send default apache 404 error from php

    How can I trigger the default Apache 404 error from PHP? I don't want
    to specify a custom handler, I want the default handler. The reason is
    that I am using mod_rewrite with Apache for my site. If certain a
    certain page is requested that is not published, then I want to send
    the apache default 404 error page. Currently, I am doing this to
    return a custom error.

    if($pageNotPubl ished) {
    header("HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found");
    // How do I send the default apache 404 message
    // instead of the message below?
    print("<html><b ody>HTTP 404 - Not Found</body></html>");
    exit();
    }

    The default 404 error page has more details, and I would rather not
    recreate it.

      Hmm..What about readfile() here?

          Thanks for your reply. readfile won't work because the 404 message
          contains dynamic information like the requested URL. It looks like
          this:

          Not Found
          The requested URL /alkdf was not found on this server.
          Apache/1.3.33 Server at mywebsite.com Port 80

          Of course, I could recreate it using PHP functions, but for
          consistency, I'd rather have PHP pass through to Apache's default 404
          error handler. I think this is a tough question, any experts want to
          take it? In the meantime, I'll cross post my question in the Apache ng.

              What about $err404=readfil e('some/non-existant.file') ;
              str_replace('so me/non-existant.file', 'your_file', $err404);?
              :)

                  Ooops, sorry, readfile reads the file into the buffer... My mistake.

                      I think, Chung Leong can answer your question--he was hacking Apache
                      for sometime ago.

                      Yes, that might help.
