Pasting your page onto my server and commenting out your includes the following lines stand out:
$email_err ="<span class="red">Please enter your email address!</span><br />";
$message_err = "<span class="red">Please enter a message!</span><br />";
You have quotes within quotes here. You should either escape the inner quotes or use single quotes to define your string. So this will work:
$email_err ="<span class=\"red\">Please enter your email address!</span><br />";
$message_err = "<span class=\"red\">Please enter a message!</span><br />";
or this will work:
$email_err ='<span class="red">Please enter your email address!</span><br />';
$message_err = '<span class="red">Please enter a message!</span><br />';
The latter is slightly more efficient, but you won't notice the difference.
Incidentally, you should consider separating your presentation from your logic a little more, but that's a whole other issue.
