How can error reporting settings in PHP impact the ability to use the header() function for redirection?

Error reporting settings in PHP can impact the ability to use the header() function for redirection because if there is any output sent to the browser before calling header(), PHP will throw a "headers already sent" error. To solve this issue, you can turn off error reporting or use output buffering to prevent any output from being sent before the header() function is called.

// Turn off error reporting
error_reporting(0);

// Or use output buffering
ob_start();

// Your code here

// Redirect using header()
header('Location: new_page.php');
exit();
