PHP HTTP Headers

If you want to check your headers, you can use web based tools like: web-sniffer.net,
web-browser extensions (e.g. LiveHTTPHeaders, ieHTTPHeaders) or another third-party software tool.

header('HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found');   // Access forbidden:
header('HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden');   // The page moved permanently should be used for
// all redrictions, because search engines know
// what's going on and can easily update their urls.
