Technically 302 means "Found" - as in, the document isn't here but for now it's there. Same thing really. 307 means "temporary redirect" (though is very rarely used).

Okay first thing:
One of you error code definitions is WRONG 302 is temporary redirect NOT 307

Also @ Susan Lucas
With PHP you can set the header using header(status 404); or something like this but you cannot (as far as i know) change the "state" of the server using php or any file you can pretend it is and try to tell the broswer it is but if you want the custom error it kind of overrides it and becuase it still serving a page its technically not not found if that makes sense.

I tried putting "ErrorDocument 404 /path/to/your/error/file/" in my .htaccess file, and it worked just fine except it returns the status code of 200, which Google doesn't like. In fact, it made my site become unverified with Google. I've seen at least one other webmaster with the same problem. Is there some way to force the status 404 to remain and still offer up a custom error page?

Haha, nicely spotted Ant. This is, of course, over three years old now and the design has changed a lot since back then. Also, emails are no longer sent - there were just too many to be useful after a while.

Glad you like the site though.

"For example, my 404 (page not found) error page also sends me an email whenever somebody ends up there,"
First of all, I'd like to apologize for the two emails you just got because I opened http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/apache/htaccess-error-documents/wtf_is_this?

Second, although this is a good tutorial on how to work with error documents, your's says the search box is on the left... (left is the hand one that makes an "L" out of your thumb and index finger, not the one that makes a "_|", whatever that may be.)

Anyway, great site. I love the cheat sheets btw.

Just what I was looking for ;)

Instead of using errordocument /404.php (or something else), I wanted to use just a message so it kept it the same URL...lile just in case they mispelled the address ;)
