I have a web-server and I would like to have the HTTP status code 418 'I'm a teapot' under some conditions, I am sure I would use an if statement, I just can't seem to get it to trip, any help?

Use the `header()` function, beware of [error cases](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8028957/headers-already-sent-by-php), and note that you can't usually show a page along (built-in browser replacements). – mario Feb 12 '13 at 01:11

I use header("HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found") to try a common code, but it does nothing, first line after php – gudenau Feb 12 '13 at 01:17

<?php
header("HTTP/1.1 418 I'm a teapot");
?>
<html>
<h1>418 I'm a teapot</h1><br>
<p>The HTCPCP Server is a teapot. The responding entity MAY be short and stout.</p>
</html>
Will result in:
418 I'm a teapot
The HTCPCP Server is a teapot. The responding entity MAY be short and stout.
