'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' for XMLHttpRequest from extrnal link code example

Example 1: cross origin even with allow header

header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://localhost:8100');
header ("Access-Control-Expose-Headers: Content-Length, X-JSON");
header ("Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST, PATCH, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS");
header ("Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type, Authorization, Accept, Accept-Language, X-Authorization");
header('Access-Control-Max-Age: 86400');

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'OPTIONS') {
    // The request is using the POST method
    header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");
    return;

}

Example 2: Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'http://localhost/MySQL_pracs/InsertUser.php' from origin 'http://localhost:4200' has been blocked by CORS policy: Request header field content-type is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Headers in preflight response.

//Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'http://localhost/[api path].php' from origin 'http://localhost:4200' has been blocked by CORS policy: Request header field content-type is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Headers in preflight response.

//The error is simply saying that "Content-Type" is missing from "Access-Control-Allow-Headers".

//Therefore we need to add "Content-Type" to "Access-Control-Allow-Headers".

<?php 
header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type');
-----
?>
