How to Generate 404 error forcefully in Yii

Question

I am using Yii framework and i want to generate 404 error if no recode found in database. Is there any smart way so that Yii default error handler should be invoked.

thanks in advance.

Solution

throw new CHttpException(404,'The specified post cannot be found.');

@imre-l Is it possible to return an Http Error without throwing an exception? Because I'm using MailLogRoute and now even simple 403 errors are mailed to me. It's an intentional error, so not a failure of a programmer so I think it shouldn't be an Exception. Is there a 'cleaner' way? > just return a http response with 403 without using CHttpException?

Have you tried using "200" as code? It's the "OK", so I think the server should let it pass.
