calling an Error 404 page from within the Controller

[BoSc]

Hi,

I was wondering, what is the correct way to call a 404 Error from
wihtin a controller?

The situation is this: I use pretty urls (for SEO) to let the user
navigate through my site. When the controller is called to show an
appartment, 4 parameters are passed. The first thing I do is check
that the parameters have been passed and that a certain one is numeric
(the id).

Currently I'm using this:

if(!is_numeric($id)) {
   $this-redirect('/');
   exit();
}

but I'm looking for a (clean) way to redirect to the error page.

Any help is appreciated!

I use something like this (cake 1.2 prebeta):

$this-cakeError('error404',array(array('url'='/')));

Thanks snowdog... which class offers cakeError as a method? I couldn't
find this in the API.

Another question... is it possible to set a custom layout for the
error404.thtml file?

If You create a custom 404 layout, take care that an 404 code by HTTP
is provided.
This can be done by header(http/1.0 404 not found);

To prevent errors you can use something like this:

if(!headers_sent) {
header(http/1.0 404 not found);
}

But how do I define the layout that CakePHP should use for the
template error404.thtml
