How to return a HTTP status code with PHP serverless function

I want to return a custom HTTP status code in a PHP serverless function. But the following code:

return ['body' => ['test'=>'Lorem ipsum'], 'statusCode' => 404];

Has this output (with HTTP status 200):

{"body":{"test":"Lorem ipsum"},"statusCode":404}

Expected output (with HTTP status 404):

{"test":"Lorem ipsum"}

hello @accountmorel

Here is a minimal example that the function returns an error repose along with an HTTP status code and additional HTTP headers:

  1. function main(): array {

  2.     return [

  3.         'body' => 'The requested resource is not found.',

  4.         'statusCode' => 404,

  5.         'headers' => (object)

  6.             [

  7.                 'Cache-Control' => 'no-cache',

  8.             ],

  9.     ];

  10. }
