Setting http status code with php

Question

When setting a custom status code response with PHP using header() is:

header("Status: 404 Not Found");

Correct, or:

header($_SERVER["SERVER_PROTOCOL"] . " 404 Not Found");

Which is the http standard? Or, should you set both?

The second one is correct. The first is not a valid http header to my knowledge, it would be "HTTP/1.0 404 Page Not Found" You could almost view it as " " — Zarathuztra, Dec 29 '13 at 04:11
