I've been trying to figure out PHP and 404 errors.

If somebody types

Code:

http://site.com/?id=valid

I want my PHP to deliver the content.

If they type

Code:

http://site.com/?id=invalid

I want to return a 404 error and then after a couple of seconds return to the homepage.

I tried:

Code:

header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");

But according to Live HTTP headers add-on in Firefox, it loads

Code:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

first.

How can properly I deliver a 404?

Thanks a lot
