I want to write a php page that can return a 503 with some useful information. <?php header("HTTP/1.0 503 Service Unavailable");

try header("Status: 503 Service Unavailable");

echo "Page execution failed.\n"; ?> Is what I've done so far - yet it doesn't work, the headers don't seem to be modified and my page just returns the echoed contet and both firefox and IE blithely ignore the fact that I set the server unavailable header :( can anyone give me a clue as to what I've done wrong?
