php header location vs php_redirect

What's the difference between the function "HTTP_redirect" and "header location" in PHP ?

When must I use the function "HTTP_redirect" ?

When must I use the function "header location" ?

Look that: https://php.net/manual/en/function.http-redirect.php --> Manual for HTTP_redirect https://php.net/manual/en/function.header.php --> Manual for the function header
