    $emailbody = "$emailbody" . "$email" . "\n";
    $emailbody = "$emailbody" . "$message" . "\n";




    header("Location: contact?status=thanks");

As best as I can tell from reproducing your code (assuming your include files aren't causing the problem) is the fact that your redirect is missing a file extension.

If that's not case in your code, I'll need to see more.

But essentially change 

 header("Location: contact?status=thanks");

To 

 header("Location: contact.php?status=thanks");

Let me know if that fixes it. Once I've changed that, your code is working for me.
