How can PHP developers effectively handle user redirection based on different user groups stored in a database?

To effectively handle user redirection based on different user groups stored in a database, PHP developers can query the database to determine the user's group and then redirect them accordingly using header("Location: url") function. 

// Assume $userGroup is fetched from the database
$userGroup = "admin";

if ($userGroup == "admin") {
    header("Location: admin_dashboard.php");
    exit();
} elseif ($userGroup == "user") {
    header("Location: user_dashboard.php");
    exit();
} else {
    header("Location: default_dashboard.php");
    exit();
}
