The code you have provided is without error, except for the random html floating in the middle of it, though I think that was just an accident when you posted it.
However, I think you may have two issues:
1. You switched from localhost to an actual server. Has your database information (contents, connection data) been preserved?
2. You coded the giant if/else if block without an else case. If $_POST['rvt'] was never set, your page would never redirect you. Check to make sure this is working by adding an else block at the end of your code (else echo "rvt not set";) If $_POST['rvt'] is set, your problem may be a logical one in the set of elseif blocks. If none if them eval to true, you may similarly be staring at a blank page. See if this is the problem by changing your last elseif to an else. If you get the die message, it means that either your POST variables are not all set, or your logic is wrong.

[freefony]

i have done that its still not working i thinking the logic is fine its working perfectly on my local mechine its just the online thing

[zorgi]

Do you get any errors?

[freefony]

no i didnt get errors its just takes me back to the index page ignoring the whole header lines

[zorgi]

Than I would have to agree with anon538.

Try Changing your

if (isset($_POST['rvt'])) on line 13 to if (true)

and also

if(isset($_POST['sc']) && ($_POST['sc']!='')) on line 15 to if (true)


if you get redirected than your logic is wrong.

[freefony]

no didnt work do i need to configure the htaccess for php header to work ? or what alternatives do i have to this

[zorgi]

Is the code you gave us exact copy or there are some differences?

[freefony]

ok i got better here is the code now but its giving me this error:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/nyscfct/public_html/conn.php:17) in /home/nyscfct/public_html/index.php on line 21

<?php
$sc=$_POST['sc'];
$name=$_POST['name'];
$emp=$_POST['ppa'];
include("conn.php");
$qry="select employer from corper";
$rst=mysql_query($qry) or die(mysql_error());
if (isset($_POST['rvt']))
{
if(isset($_POST['name']) && ($_POST['name']!=''))
{
header("Location:http://www.nyscfct.org/detail.php?sc=$sc");
 }
else if(isset($_POST['name']) && ($_POST['name']!=''))
{
header("Location:http://www.nyscfct.org/searchresult.php?name=$name");
 
 }
                                     elseif(isset($_POST['ppa']) && ($_POST['ppa']!='')){
 
                                            header("Location:searchresult.php?emp=$emp");
 
                                     }elseif(($_POST['sc']='') && ($_POST['name']='') && ($_POST['ppa']='')){
                                         die('Please go back <a href="index.php">Home</a> fill in atleast one search criterea');
                                    }
                                }
 
 
 
?>
 

[zorgi]

that means that within your conn.php that you included on line 5 something has already been outputted to the browser.

header() must be called before any actual output is sent

http://hr.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php

[freefony]

i changed it to this

<?php
$sc=$_POST['sc'];
if (isset($_POST['rvt'])){
                                        if(isset($_POST['sc']) && ($_POST['sc']!='')){
 
                                            header("Location:http://www.nyscfct.org/
                                            detail.php?sc=$sc");
                                       }
                                     else if(isset($_POST['name']) && ($_POST['name']!='')){
                                         header("Location:http://www.nyscfct.org/searchresult.php?name=$name");
 
                                     }
                                     elseif(isset($_POST['ppa']) && ($_POST['ppa']!='')){
 
                                            header("Location:searchresult.php?emp=$emp");
 
                                     }elseif(($_POST['sc']='') && ($_POST['name']='') && ($_POST['ppa']='')){
                                         die('Please go back <a href="index.php">Home</a> fill in atleast one search criterea');
                                    }
                                }
$name=$_POST['name'];
$emp=$_POST['ppa'];
include("conn.php");
$qry="select employer from corper";
$rst=mysql_query($qry) or die(mysql_error());
 
 
 
 
?>
 

the error is gone but the conditions re not working properly the first(if(isset($_Post['sc']))) is not navigating while the other two re going to detail.php instead of searchresult.php

[zorgi]

@freefony
So redirection works but the logic doesn't.

[freefony]

now i have this but

<?php
$sc=$_POST['sc'];
$name=$_POST['name'];
$emp=$_POST['ppa'];
if (isset($_POST['rvt']))
{
if(isset($_POST['name']) && ($_POST['name']!=''))
{
header("Location:http://www.nyscfct.org/detail.php?sc=$sc");
 }
else if(isset($_POST['name']) && ($_POST['name']!=''))
{
header("Location:http://www.nyscfct.org/searchresult.php?name=$name");
 
 }
                                     elseif(isset($_POST['ppa']) && ($_POST['ppa']!='')){
 
                                            header("Location:searchresult.php?emp=$emp");
 
                                     }elseif(($_POST['sc']='') && ($_POST['name']='') && ($_POST['ppa']='')){
                                         die('Please go back <a href="index.php">Home</a> fill in atleast one search criterea');
                                    }
                                }
 
 
 
include("conn.php");
$qry="select employer from corper";
$rst=mysql_query($qry) or die(mysql_error());

but the $_post varibles are not catching the values of my textboxes

[zorgi]

Try this:

$sc=$_POST['sc'];
$name=$_POST['name'];
$emp=$_POST['ppa'];
if (isset($_POST['rvt'])){
    if(!empty($_POST['sc'])){
        header("Location:http://www.nyscfct.org/detail.php?sc=$sc");
    }elseif(!empty($_POST['name'])){
         header("Location:http://www.nyscfct.org/searchresult.php?name=$name");
    }elseif(!empty($_POST['ppa'])){
         header("Location:searchresult.php?emp=$emp");
    }else{
        die('Please go back <a href="index.php">Home</a> fill in atleast one search criterea');
    }
}
