I keep getting: Fatal error: Function name must be a string in C:\xampp\htdocs\contact.php on line 34
Line 34 is this:
<?php if (isset($_GET["status"]) AND $_GET("status") == "thanks") { ?>
Any thoughts?

AND $_GET("status") is treating $_GET like a function because of the parentheses.
<?php if (isset($_GET["status"]) AND $_GET["status"] == "thanks") { ?>
Edit: the second call to _GET was using parentheses instead of square brackets. Line corrected above.

Courses Plus Student 16,352 PointsAND is valid, it's just a lower precedence operator than &&.

Courses Plus Student 16,352 PointsFixed markdown for the posted code. If you're curious about how to add markdown like this on your own, checkout this thread on posting code to the forum . Also, there is a link at the bottom called Markdown Cheatsheet that gives a brief overview of how to add markdown to your posts.
While you had the 3 backticks for a code block, there needs to be a blank line preceding these backticks.
