Displaying A Default Page Not Found.

Is there any way in php or similiar languages like javascript, to have it display the default 404 message for that browser when something happens. Like, in php say I have sessions set up and if the person is not logged in the page that the user visits that you need to be logged in to, it displays the users browsers default 404 message.

I know I could always have it check the browser type then redirect them to a file on the server that mimics that browsers 404 not found but I am trying to find out if there is any other way like a function or something built into the language.

Thanks

Here you go:

Code:

<?php
header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
?>



Note: this doesn't always work. See: http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php#70236

Anywhere in my code when I need to serve up a 404 page manually, I simply use
Code:
 include("404.php");


My 404.php file uses my database to look for pages that they may have meant to go to -- and even redirects them to the correct page. On top of that, if I set a variable such as $enabled in my parent code, I can access this in my 404.php to render a specific page based on disabled items.

It goes without saying that the 404.php file, where appropriate should include :
Code:
    header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
    header("Status: 301 Moved Permanently");
    header("Location: ".$redirectAddress);

Code:
   header("HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found");
   header("Status: 404 Not Found");

...or other headers that I don't use -- you may need to serve up 403 Forbidden headers.
