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

Emulate a 403 error page

Just echo your content after sending the header.

header('HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden');

echo 'You are forbidden!';

forbidden
