How can PHP be used to troubleshoot and resolve loading issues with Flash games on a website?

Issue: Flash games may not load properly on a website due to cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) restrictions. To resolve this issue, we can use PHP to act as a proxy server that fetches the Flash game content and serves it to the client, bypassing CORS restrictions. PHP code snippet: 

<?php
// Get the URL of the Flash game
$game_url = $_GET['game_url'];

// Fetch the Flash game content using cURL
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $game_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$game_content = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

// Set the appropriate headers
header('Content-Type: application/x-shockwave-flash');
header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');

// Serve the Flash game content to the client
echo $game_content;
?>
