Hi all,  
Iam looking to make a “Website Unavailable for maintenace” kind of a code in PHP. This is how I planned:  
Whenever I have to update the website (which is in PHP), I can just set an option from Admin saying that the website is down & no one will be able to access the website until I restore it back from my Admin panel. Can anyone please tell me how to do this? In my searches, I came across 503 error but it did not really help me very much.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
