How to enable CORS with PHP

Question

I have an angular 4 app talking to a php script that resides on WAMP (www folder) they are both on my local machine. I get this error logged in the browser when i hit the script.

No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. 
Origin 'http://localhost:4200' is therefore not allowed access. 
The response had HTTP status code 404.

I know its because i am trying to access from localhost to localhost that this problem occurs.

I did a bit of reading and it appears i need to fix it from wamp server. Not sure how to do that on wamp.

You need to set the headers on your server response to allow `"*"` — yBrodsky, Nov 24 '17 at 18:52

As commented, the problem is that you need to allow all origins from the script.

//at the very begining of your php script.
header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');

For me, I was trying the other answer, it did not work for some reason, but I try the one below and it worked:

header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');
header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers:  Content-Type, X-Auth-Token, Authorization, Origin');
header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods:  POST, PUT, GET');
