I have a header('HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found'); somewhere along the code but it doesn’t redirect to the Apache’s default 404 page for some reason.
I have a Rewrite Rule on the .htaccess file that redirects every request to index.php. Could that be the problem?
The header is not what tells Apache to display it’s 404 page. Rather, when Apache displays its 404 page, it sends a 404 header along with it. The header is meant to have meaning to the browser, not the server. Apache displays a 404 when it can’t find the proper file to display. Since you’re in a PHP script, Apache has already found a file it can display, and thus won’t show its own 404 page.
