cors related headers code example

Example 1: 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');
-----
?>

“CORS” stands for Cross-Origin Resource Sharing. 
It allows you to make requests from one website to another website 
in the browser, which is normally prohibited by another browser policy 
called the Same-Origin Policy (SOP).
