PHP-General - FastCGI Status Code responses?

php .net site states:
"For FastCGI you must use the following for a 404 response:"

PHP Code:


		
			
 header("Status: 404 Not Found");

Can anyone tell me if this is meant to apply ONLY to the 404 ...or do they mean that one must use that format for all FastCGI responses?!?

PHP Code:


		
			
 header("Status: 410 Gone");

 header("Status: 301 Moved Permanently");

 etc..

 ????????????

The code says "404 Not Found". Compare that with things like "301 Moved Permanently" and "200 OK" and "500 Internal Server Error".

When do you think they should be used?

As for having it in all responses, the default is a 200 so you only need one if you want something else.

I think you totally missed the question

I think you totally missed the question. I did not ask how or when to use them, i asked about the proper syntax for issuing them via php - WHEN the script is processed through FastCGI.

To reiterate the initial question.... php .net manual states:

PHP Code:


		
			
 header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");

That instead of using the typical syntax, above, that for FastCGI you must use the following for a 404 response:

PHP Code:


		
			
 header("Status: 404 Not Found");

So, the question is: Can anyone tell me if this is meant to apply ONLY to the FastCGI 404 Response ...or did they offer the "Status: 404 Not Found" only as an example and one must use that same format when issuing other FastCGI status response headers as well?!?
