Topic: PHP: Response Status

[webwhy]

I haven't worked in PHP for a long time, and I know a couple of you guys do.

I need to set a http response status code in php.  I've read that it depends on how php is executing.


<?php
header("HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden"); // for mod_php
header("Status: 403 Forbidden"); // for fastcgi
?>


is this true?  if so, how do i determine the type of php environment, i.e. cgi/fastcgi or mod_php?  it's required that i do this in PHP and not via an apache setting, is there a better way?

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.php-sapi-name.php will tell you.

As for as the reponse code I've only ever used the first one.
