PHP header 404 .htaccess ErrorDocument not working on local machine (MAMP)

Currently I get a 404 error, but it does not redirect to 404.php

Here are the contents of my index.php:

<?
header("HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found");
exit;
?>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Index</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Index</h1>
    <p>This is the homepage, but I'd like it to go to 404.php!</p>
</body>
</html>

Here is 404.php:

<html>
<head>
    <title>404</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Page Not Found!</h1>
    <p>This is my test custom 404 page!</p>
    <p>This is my test custom 404 page!</p>
    <p>This is my test custom 404 page!</p>
    <p>This is my test custom 404 page!</p>
    <p>This is my test custom 404 page!</p>
    <p>This is my test custom 404 page!</p>
    <p>This is my test custom 404 page!</p>
    <p>This is my test custom 404 page!</p>
    <p>This is my test custom 404 page!</p>
    <p>This is my test custom 404 page!</p>
    <p>This is my test custom 404 page!</p>
    <p>This is my test custom 404 page!</p>
    <p>This is my test custom 404 page!</p>
    <p>This is my test custom 404 page!</p>
    <p>This is my test custom 404 page!</p>
</body>
</html>

Here is .htaccess:

ErrorDocument 404 /Users/me/folder/mamp/404.php

/Users/me/folder/mamp/404.php represents the root document folder in MAMP preferences.

I have also tried the relative path of /404.php and the URL of http://localhost:8888/404.php in .htaccess. So far all the same result, a white page, issuing a 404 but no redirect.

From my reading this all combined should do the trick; still missing something it seems.

Your use of ErrorDocument is wrong here:

ErrorDocument 404 /Users/me/folder/mamp/404.php

You need to use path either relative path from DocumentRoot OR use full URL starting with http. So use:

ErrorDocument 404 /404.php

OR

ErrorDocument 404 http://domain.com/404.php
