How can a PHP variable be used to change the URL in a browser?
To change the URL in a browser using a PHP variable, you can use the header() function to send a raw HTTP header to the browser. You can set the Location header to the new URL that you want to redirect to. This will cause the browser to redirect to the new URL specified in the PHP variable.
<?php
$new_url = "https://www.example.com/newpage.php";
header("Location: $new_url");
exit;
?>
