First you should know what http headers are. All you need to know about
php's header() is that if you want to send specific headers, other than
what the server sends by default, you use header to set them. Here's a
good page to start with: http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/http.html

For example, here's what Google sends, when you open the index page:

HTTP/1.x 200 OK
Cache-Control: private
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Content-Encoding: gzip
Server: GWS/2.1
Content-Length: 1731
Date: Fri, 01 Jun 2007 12:50:35 GMT

It's just basic info for the browser, what charset the browser should
use to display the page (utf-8), how it should render it (html), how big
file it is...

You can do plenty of useful things with headers, Google is your friend.

clear = header() is used to send a raw HTTP header.

in depth = Make yourself a pot of coffee and free up a weekend for an
"edge-of-your-seat" reading session here -http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2616

I tend to agree with Geoff... RTFM (sorry, but better for you this way
in the long run; see quote below); but then if you still don't get
it ... RTFRFC!

One of the main things I use for it is "Location:" . Basically, you can
do:

header("Locatio n: http://www.blah.com");

It is basically a redirect. So, for example, if you accept form data
and want to redirect to a new page depending on what you receive, you
can use the header() function.
