Internal Server Error when submitting a page

Question

I am working a portal website. Here I have forget password page. In this forget password page will have a form with email id. When user gives his email and click on submit it will send an email.

But now actual problem is in my localhost it is working fine. But when I uploaded into the server. And when I open the page forget password and gave email id and clicked on submit then it showing internal server error as shown in the following image.

And the code I have written is

<?php 
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
include 'header-employer.php';
echo "In forget password page";

?>
<script type="text/javascript">
function valid_details()
{
    var con1=/^[a-zA-Z0-9\_\.]+\@[a-zA-Z\.]+\.([a-z]{2,4})$/;

    if(document.getElementById('email').value=="")
    {
        alert("Please Enter Email Id");
        document.getElementById('email').focus();
        return false;
    }
    else if(!document.getElementById('email').value.match(con1))
    {
        alert("Enter Valid Email Id");
        document.getElementById('email').focus();
        return false;
    }
    if(document.getElementById('pass').value=="")
    {
        alert("Please Enter Password");
        document.getElementById('pass').focus();
        return false;
    }
}
</script>

<?php
if(isset($_POST['sub']) && $_POST['sub']=="Submit")
{
    echo "entered into forget password";
    $email=mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['email']));
    echo "email in forget pwd page:".$email;
    $email_fetch=$con->getdata("select * from employers where email='{$email}'");
    $rows=mysql_num_rows($email_fetch);
    print_r($rows);
    if($rows==0)
    {
        echo '<script> alert("Email Id Not Registered With Us.") </script>';
    }
    else
    {
        function randomcode()
            {
                $chars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789";
                $i = 0;
                $vcode = '' ;
                while($i < 7)
                {
                    $num = mt_rand(0,61);
                    $tmp = substr($chars, $num, 1);
                    $vcode = $vcode . $tmp;
                    $i++;
                }
                return $vcode;
            }
            $msg=randomcode();
            $secure_msg=md5($msg);
            echo "update employers set pass='$secure_msg' where email='{$email}'";
            $update_pass=$con->setdata("update employers set pass='$secure_msg' where email='{$email}'");

                        $user_subject='Your New Password';

Try to check hosting logs for error, seems you are on shared hosting and your `ini_set('display_errors', 1);` is ignored you have to look for error in hosting control panel — Armen, Feb 02 '16 at 07:13
There sould be some logs in error.log file. Could you please check it? If there is no error.log file, you should debug the code line by line. — vural, Feb 02 '16 at 07:22

Here are few things you can try.

Try adding error_reporting('E_ALL'); on top of the script.
Check your web server's configuration (htaccess, virtualhost etc).
(more likely cause) Since, you are using mail() function, it could be causing the error. Check your server's mail configuration. More info: PHP's mail() function causes a 500 Internal Server Error only after a certain point in the code
Compare your server's configuration with your localhost's configuration.

Did that help you figure out your problem? – Vishwa Feb 02 '16 at 08:19
No Vishwa Just started working. You said that mail() will also would be problem. But email are coming to my spam. – Jallipalli Phanindra Feb 02 '16 at 09:25
Hi Vishwa Yes I figured out the problem this is due to mail server. Because when I commented out email functionality and I just print a message. Now when I click the button it showing the updated status and page not showing 500 internal server error. Thanks for response.....! – Jallipalli Phanindra Feb 02 '16 at 09:33
Great! Glad it helped. – Vishwa Feb 02 '16 at 10:20
