How to keep sidebar in redirection?

Hello! I got this redirection and request method to work for a website I am working on. However once the form is submitted and redirected to the same page, the sidebar is gone. The footer, header and everything else remains but not the sidebar I have. How do I make sure it stays on the page once redirected?

I am using redirection: header("location:estimate.php?status=thanks"); Then an if statement: if (isset($_GET["status"]) && $_GET["status"] == "thanks") { echo "Thank you for your estimate request. We will return your inquiry soon!"; } else { //my form here. } ?>

My sidebar is gone. I inspect elements and its technically there but I'm not seeing an CSS to make it hidden. It also shows "=0" in the inspect element window.
