use header() method of the PHP to send the Referrer-Policy header attribute
Referrer-Policy: no-referrer
php code for Referrer Policy security header:


header("Referrer-Policy: \"no-referrer\";");

it send header to the browser with Referrer-Policy properties
"no-referrer" Policy, which means no referrer information is to be sent along with requests made from a particular request client to any origin.

Referrer-Policy: no-referrer-when-downgrade
php code:


header("Referrer-Policy: \"no-referrer-when-downgrade\";");

"no-referrer-when-downgrade" Policy, which means the protocol security level stays the same or improves (HTTP?HTTP, HTTP?HTTPS, HTTPS?HTTPS). Don't send the Referer header for requests to less secure destinations (HTTPS?HTTP, HTTPS?file).

Referrer-Policy: origin
php code:


header("Referrer-Policy: \"origin\";");

"origin" Policy, which means Send only the origin in the Referer.

Referrer-Policy: origin-when-cross-origin
php code:

header("Referrer-Policy: \"origin-when-cross-origin\";");

"origin-when-cross-origin" Policy, which means When performing a same-origin request to the same protocol level (HTTP?HTTP, HTTPS?HTTPS), send the origin, path, and query string . Send only the origin for cross origin requests and requests to less secure destinations (HTTPS?HTTP).

Referrer-Policy: same-origin
php code:


header("Referrer-Policy: \"same-origin\";");

"same-origin" Policy, which means send the origin, path, and query string for same-origin requests. Don't send the Referer header for cross-origin requests.

Referrer-Policy: strict-origin
php code:


header("Referrer-Policy: \"strict-origin\";");

"strict-origin" Policy, which means Send only the origin when the protocol security level stays the same (HTTPS?HTTPS). Don't send the Referer header to less secure destinations (HTTPS?HTTP).

Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin
php code:


header("Referrer-Policy: \"same-origin\";");

1"strict-origin-when-cross-origin" Policy, which means Send the origin, path, and querystring when performing a same-origin request. For cross-origin requests send the origin (only) when the protocol security level stays same (HTTPS?HTTPS). Don't send the Referer header to less secure destinations (HTTPS?HTTP).

Referrer-Policy: unsafe-url
php code:


header("Referrer-Policy: \"unsafe-url\";");

"unsafe-url" Policy, which means Send the origin, path, and query string when performing any request, regardless of security.
