setting status code in header php , not working for 442?

Question

I am calling my rest with CURL php and setting response header like:

 header('Status',true,422);

and when printing status I get 422.

but when I set header like:

 header('Status',true,440);

I get 500 code in response.

I don't know why is it happening.

Please help me in this issue.

You have to make sure nothing is returned before the "header" statement. Are you sure 440 is valid for all web servers? I think it has something to do with microsoft. — in need of help

You shouldn't return HTTP Code headers in this way. There is dedicated function: http://php.net/manual/en/function.http-response-code.php

<?php
http_response_code(422);
http_response_code(440);
?>

Additionally, make sure you don't return anything (e.g. by echo) before calling these commands.
