How can PHP beginners ensure that URL redirection is implemented correctly in their code?

To ensure that URL redirection is implemented correctly in PHP code, beginners should use the header() function to send a raw HTTP header to perform the redirection. It is important to include the correct HTTP status code (such as 301 for permanent redirection or 302 for temporary redirection) in the header to indicate the type of redirection being performed. 

<?php
// Redirect to a new URL with a 301 status code for permanent redirection
header("Location: https://www.newurl.com", true, 301);
exit();
?>
