What is the Same-Origin-Policy in PHP and how does it affect external server requests?

The Same-Origin Policy in PHP is a security feature that restricts how a script hosted on one domain can interact with resources from another domain. This policy can affect external server requests by preventing scripts from making requests to a different domain than the one the script is hosted on. To bypass this restriction, you can use PHP's cURL library to make the external server request. 

$url = 'https://example.com/api/data';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

// Process the response from the external server
echo $response;
