Note Submitter: xxxbunker dot com ---- there are times when one would want to output a html status 500 'mid response'. i wasn't able to get a clear answer weather sending a (be it incomplete) body with a 500 is proper, but what i found works nicely (assuming you are using output buffering, and haven't flushed the buffer before requiring a 500): a) ..... some of the document body is buffered ..... b) ..... something happens that merits a html status 500 ..... c) ob_end_clean() - this will basically purge whatever document body is in the buffer 'to this point' d) use header('.... to display the html status 500. e) die(); what you are left with, is a html status 500, with no body. nice and clean, just the way we like it :)
