Hi,

I'm starting to look at building a PHP based site which serves virtual
pages (possibly using Action/AddHandler) and I'd like to be able to
have PHP tell Apache to return its default 404. Every tutorial I've
seen uses its own 404 page, the closest I've found is:
<http://groups.google.co.uk/group/com...se_frm/thread/
1ca3371bf7601404/aef01775d62de2a6?lnk=st&q=default+404+apache
+php&rnum=2#aef01775d62de2a6>

Is there any way to do this?

your question came up in comp.lang.php 2 days ago, unfortunately the
answer is no, but who knows, php could change to include more apache
specific functions. They would be useful IMHO.

ps. your nickname makes me feel sad inside, unless your first name is
Ima.

Sorry, I was beginning to suffer from search fatigue.

Okay, thanks. It'll probably be good for me to try and do it myself
anyway.

No need to feel sad, my first name is not Ima, but my surname is
Malone.

Should this be a simple HEADER message generatet from PHP?

although the header can be sent, it doesn't notify apache to serve the
404, so the default apache error handlers never get invoked, and php
has to mimic the behaviour using php code. Perl can invoke apache
errors, php cant. (yet)
