Is the button inside your form? eg. `` – Justin Taddei Mar 01 '17 at 00:28

And are you trying to submit the form or redirect without submitting? – Justin Taddei Mar 01 '17 at 00:29

So I created a form to checkout items, first is checkout.php and second is checkin.php but I want user to be able to select either option from index.php it's just two button on the index.php homepage, and when they click either, they will be redirect. – Manny Reddington Mar 01 '17 at 00:35

Why use a button element inside a link tag? Why not just:
<a href="food.php" id="food">Food - Equipment</a>
Try that and see if it fixes it.

This worked but I only resulted in an underlined link and I wanted to return the CSS of the button. – Manny Reddington Mar 01 '17 at 00:29

A button is requested, not a link. Sometimes linked php files don't work as expected in some browsers. Use a form submit button and you'll get what you're looking for.
<form action="food.php" method="GET"> <!-- use get or post if you want
to send anything -->
<input type="submit" value="GO">
</form>
