ASIHTTPRequest and PHP Status Code always returns 200 or 500

Question

My problem is that the php responseStatusCodes are not showing up on iOS. No matter what status code I return in sendResponse(), when reading the responseStatusCode in iOS, I get the output 500. Why is this and how can I fix it? Im assuming this is an error with PHP and has nothing to do with ASIHTTPRequest. But just for good measure, I've included the code used on the iOS side.

Let me know if their is any other code you need to help assist me.

Thanks in advance!

Here is the code I use to start a connection to the server.

ASIFormDataRequest *request = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:url];
request.shouldAttemptPersistentConnection = NO;
[request setPostValue:name forKey:@"name"];
[request setPostValue:email forKey:@"email"];
[request setPostValue:phash forKey:@"phash"];
[request setDelegate:self];
[request startAsynchronous];

This is the code that I run when receiving a request finished message.

/
- (void)requestFinished:(ASIHTTPRequest *)request
{
    NSLog(@"Request Finished");
    int statusCode = [request responseStatusCode];
    if (statusCode == 150) {
        NSLog(@"User Already Registered.");
    } else if (statusCode == 155){
        NSLog(@"User Not Registered");
    } else if (statusCode == 403) {
        NSLog(@"Tester 2");
    } else if (statusCode == 200) {
        if (registering == true){
        [UIView animateWithDuration:1.0 animations:^{
            _wheel.alpha = 0.0;
        }];
        [UIView animateWithDuration:1.0 delay:1.0 options:0 animations:^{
            _clickToRegister.alpha=1.0;
        }completion:nil];
        } else {
            [UIView animateWithDuration:1.0 animations:^{
                _wheel.alpha = 0.0;
            }];
            [UIView animateWithDuration:1.0 delay:1.0 options:0 animations:^{
                _clickToLogin.alpha=1.0;
            }completion:nil];
        }
        NSLog(@"Tester 3");
    } else if (statusCode > 1 && statusCode < 1000){
        NSLog(@"Test Worked");
        NSLog(@"%d",statusCode);
    } else {
        NSLog(@"%d",statusCode);
        NSLog(@"Tester 4");
    }
}

Here is the PHP Code that is supposed to send a responseStatusCode.

function sendResponse($status, $body = '', $content_type = 'text/html')
{
    $status_header = 'HTTP/1.1 ' . $status . ' ' . 'error';
    header($status_header);
    header('Content-type: ' . $content_type);
    echo $body;
}

And here is the code that calls this function.

sendResponse(503, 'User not Registered');
return false;

Here is the code for the entire file with the sendResponse call in it.

<?php
require_once 'includes/main.php';

    echo "Hello, PHP!";
