how to fix flutter web http error making http request to a particular web server

I am trying to make an HTTP request to 000webhost as below in my flutter web app. The first method is the same as the second, I only changed the URL. However, the first one works but the second does not work. Someone suggested adding more headers but I have no idea which headers to add.

// This method WORKS
getMethod()async{

  print("IN GET ....");
  String theUrl = 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos';
  var res = await http.Client().get(Uri.encodeFull(theUrl),headers: {"Accept":"application/json"});
  //var res = await http.get(Uri.encodeFull(theUrl),headers: {"Accept":"application/json"});
  var responsBody = json.decode(res.body);
  print(responsBody);
  return responsBody;
}



// This DOES NOT WORK
getMethod()async{
  print("IN GET ....");
  String theUrl = 'https://funholidayshotels.000webhostapp.com/fetchData.php';
  var res = await http.Client().get(Uri.encodeFull(theUrl),headers: {"Accept":"application/json"});
  //var res = await http.get(Uri.encodeFull(theUrl),headers: {"Accept":"application/json"});
  var responsBody = json.decode(res.body);
  print(responsBody);
  return responsBody; 
}

You can also Add the code below to your php file like so:

    <?php
    require('connection.php');
    header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *");
    ....
    code goes here
    ....
    ?>

I Tried this on LocalHost and it worked

After struggling with this for some time I figured out the problem was from the server side I had to add Header add Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*" to .htaccess on 000webhost And This solves it for me
