Emulate a 403 error page

Question

I know you can send a header that tells the browser this page is forbidden like:

header('HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden'); 

But how can I also display the custom error page that has been created on the server for this type of error?

By default, just sending the header displays a white page, but I remember a while back reading that you can use the customer error page. Does anybody know?

Answer 1

Just echo your content after sending the header.

header('HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden');  echo 'You are forbidden!';
