I want to write a php page that can return a 503 with some useful information. <?php header("HTTP/1.0 503 Service Unavailable"); echo "Page execution failed.\n"; ?> Is what I've done so far - yet it doesn't work

You need to elaborate or define what "works" means to you, because my first assumption is that it works just fine. What behavior are you wanting? By the way, LiveHTTPHeaders is pretty useful for examining HTTP: http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/ Hope that helps. Chris -- Chris Shiflett Brain Bulb, The PHP Consultancy http://brainbulb.com/
