How can PHP developers prevent browsers from saving specific URLs in the address bar?

When a user visits a webpage, browsers typically save the URLs in the address bar for convenience and quick access. However, in some cases, developers may want to prevent specific URLs from being saved in the address bar to maintain privacy or security. This can be achieved by using the header() function in PHP to send a "no-store" directive in the HTTP headers, instructing the browser not to cache the URL. 

<?php
header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: Sat, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
?>
