How to set 404 Response Code according to condition in php?

Question

I want to set http response code according to condition in php page.

if($Variable== true)
{
    header($_SERVER["SERVER_PROTOCOL"]." 404 Not Found", true, 404);           
    include('404.php');
    die();
}

I am looking something like below.

 if($Variable == true)
      // http response code =404
   else
     // http response code =200

Is it possible to do this thing in php?

I have tried as below to solve it. But not worked.

if($Variable ==true)
{
    http_response_code(404);
    include('404.php');
   die();
}

`http_response_code(404);` – Masivuye Cokile Apr 16 '19 at 13:56 — Masivuye Cokile, Apr 16 '19 at 13:56

You can use php http_response_code() which Get or Set the HTTP response code.

<?php

if($Variable == true)
      // http response code =404
    http_response_code(404));
   else
    http_response_code(200))
     // http response code =200

Can you explain that further? One of both formats is not the proper one – Nico Haase Apr 16 '19 at 14:05
