redirect to 403

[eluser]überfuzz[/eluser]
Is it possible to redirect() to 403 without doing a custom 403page? If yes, how?

I'd like to throw a 403 if a visitor tries to reach an off limit url. I'm checking for this in a my controller and I like to redirect from that my controller.

Is it necessary to redirect? Send out 403 headers from the controller and load a view to display the appropriate message.

Well what I really would like to do is to fire the CI error message, with a 403. If I'm throwing a 403 in the header with a location: etc I get my own error, don't I?

Oh, I forgot to show what I've been tinkering with.

Code:

$message_403 = "You don't have access to the url you where trying to reach.";
show_error($message_403 , 403 );

An Error Was Encountered

You don't have access to the url you where trying to reach.

This throws a CI error, but I can't change the header in the error template.

It's not exactly a matter of life and death, but I'd like to get this:

403 Forbidden

You don't have access to the url you where trying to reach.

Which version of CI are you using? This is how show_error function signature looks like in my CI 1.7.0

Code:

/**
     * General Error Page
     *
     * This function takes an error message as input
     * (either as a string or an array) and displays
     * it using the specified template.
     *
     * @access    private
     * @param    string    the heading
     * @param    string    the message
     * @param    string    the template name
     * @return    string
     */
    function show_error($heading, $message, $template = 'error_general')
    {
           ......
        }

Code:

<?php
function show_error($heading, $message, $template = 'error_general')
{
     ...
}
?>

I hate to bring up an old thread, but where I'm looking at (Common.php) it has this on CI 1.7.2:

Code:

<?php
function show_error($message, $status_code = 500)
{
     ...
}
?>

Am I just looking in the completely wrong place, or did it get taken out on purpose...or am I just completely crazy? Maybe two for three?? :-P

Thanks again for the great framework! :-P
