Puneet Kankar · Answer

Hi DeEpa, The header() function is an predefined PHP native function.With header() HTTP functions we can control data sent to the client or browser by the Web server before some other output has been sent. The header function sets the headers for an HTTP Response given by the server. We can do all sorts of things using the header function in PHP like Change page location, set timezone, set caching control. Example header( 'Location: http://www.example.com/' ); exit ; ?> For more details, you can go through the below links. https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php
