Different usages of header in php (case)

This article will share with you a summary of the different usages of PHP headers (explanations with examples). It has a good reference value and I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

1. The function of the header() function is: Send an original HTTP header [Http Header] to the client.

header(string,replace,http_response_code) 
/*string：必需。规定要发送的报头字符串。
 replace：可选。指示该报头是否替换之前的报头，或添加第二个报头。
 默认是 true（替换）。false（允许相同类型的多个报头）。
 http_response_code：可选。把 HTTP 响应代码强制为指定的值。*/

Note: The header() function must be called before any actual output is sent.

2. Usage 1: Jump to the page

##

header("Location:https://baidu.com"); //正常跳转
header('Refresh: 3; url=https://www.baidu.com'); //3s后跳转
//在header作跳转时,避免发生错误后，代码继续执行，一般加个exit;

Usage 2: Declare content-type (I often use it to solve garbled characters)

header('content-type:text/html;charset=utf-8');

Usage 3: Return response status code

header('HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden');

Usage 4:Perform download operation (hidden file location)

header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream'); //设置内容类型
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="example.zip"');//设置MIME用户作为附件
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary'); //设置传输方式
header('Content-Length: '.filesize('example.zip')); //设置内容长度

##Usage 5:Control browser cache

header( 'Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT' ); //如果服务器上的网页经常变化，就把它设置为-1，表示立即过期
header( 'Last-Modified: ' . gmdate( 'D, d M Y H:i:s' ) . ' GMT' );
header( 'Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate' );
header( 'Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0', false );
header( 'Pragma: no-cache' );
