Login page problems

I developed a website a few months ago and I am now having an issue with logging into it. The place that it is hosted just did some upgrades to their servers and for some reason, now my login page doesn't work correct.
I do know that it connects to the database, receives the information, and the session is set. The problem is that it doesn't forward itself to the next page. The way I know that the session has started is I have manually typed in the URL of the menu page (the page it is suppose to go to once the user logs in).
I am completely stumped on what is wrong here. I have other pages that use the same method to go to the next page once a user fills in a form and they work correctly.
Here is the code I use
Code: //process the script only if the form has been submitted
if (array_key_exists('login', $_POST)) {
//start the session
session_start();
include('include/connection.php');
//clean the $_POST array and assign to shorter variables
nukeMagicQuotes();
$username = trim($_POST['username']);
$pwd = trim($_POST['pwd']);
//connect to the database as a user
$conn = dbConnect();
//prepare username for use in SQL query
$username = mysql_real_escape_string($username);
//get the username's details from the database
$sql = "Select * FROM user
WHERE Username = '$username'";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error()); $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
if (sha1($pwd.$row['Salt']) == $row['pwd']) {
$_SESSION['authenticated'] = 'abc';
}
//if no match, destroy the session and prepare error message else {
$_SESSION = array();
session_destroy();
$error = 'Invalid username or password';
}
//if the session variaable has been set, redirect if (isset($_SESSION['authenticated'])) {
//get the time the session started
$_SESSION['start'] = time();
header('Location: homepage.php');
exit;
}
}
When I hit the login button, all i get is the information from the header.php file (which contains the <head> information) and the URL says it's still the index file.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. The PHP version they are now using is 5.2.9. I'm not sure what the previous version was, but it was a PHP 5.x.x version.
