Header location not working on live server but works on localhost

Question

Header location not working on live server but works on localhost.

This code worked until last week, but it does not work anymore.

So, I have started testing on localhost. It is working as before.

I tried to add "ob_start()" on the top of the code; not working.

Please review this code and comment.

<?php session_start();
$fnameErr ="";
$lnameErr ="";
$emailErr ="";
$phoneErr = "";
$dateErr = "";
$timeErr = "";
$errMsg = "";

$area = "";
$local3 = "";
$local4 = "";

$cust_info = "";

$charOnly = "/^[a-z]+[a-z]$/i";
$reg_email = "/^[^0-9~!@#$%^&*()_+=?.,][a-z0-9_]+([.][a-z0-9_]+)*[@][a-z0-9_]+([.][a-z0-9_]+)*[.][a-z]{2,3}$/i";
$reg_phone = "/^(\d{3}+\d{3}+\d{4}|\d{3}\d{3}+[\s]{1}+\d{4}|\d{3}+[\s]{1}+\d{3}+[\s]{1}+\d{4}||\d{3}+[-]{1}+\d{3}+[-]{1}+\d{4}|\d{3}+[\s]{1}+\d{7}|\(\d{3}\)\s{1}\d{3}[\s-]{1}\d{4})$/";/*"/^(\d{3}|[(]\d{3}[)]|\d{3}[)])[ -]*\d{3}[ -]*\d{4}$/";*/

Use the error log from your web server to address any message for a clue. — Edgar Orozco, Jan 10 '15 at 02:50
If your code worked before and doesn't work now then something has changed. Find out what that is and that's where you'll find your problem. — , Jan 10 '15 at 02:58

I also faced such problem so I tried following steps to resolve it.
1. Remove or comment spaces, echos, print_r, error reporting before calling header location.
2. Remove spaces after php end tag (after ?> )
3. Modify header location syntax for this what I generally do is open w3schools copy header location syntax and paste it. In your case you should try to change your header code as
header('Location: innout-booking-step2.php'); (space after : )
