Quick question on build a simple PHP app

Hey guys, just got finished watching "Checking the Request Method" in Stage 3, Adding a Contact Form, under build a simple PHP app.

I'm having trouble getting the website to show up. As it is, it's just a blank white screen when I try to go to contact.php

Here's the code, any help would be much appreciated!

 <?php

if ($_SERVER ["REQUEST_METHOD"]?== "POST") {

$name = $_POST["name"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$message = $_POST["message"];
$email_body = "";
$email_body = $email_body . "Name: " . $name . "\n";
$email_body = $email_body . "Email: " . $email . "\n";
$email_body = $email_body . "Message: " . $message;

header("Location: contact-thanks.php");
exit;

}

?><?php $pageTitle = "Contact Mike"; $section = "contact";

include('inc/header.php'); ?>

<div class="section page">

    <div class="wrapper">

        <h1>Contact</h1>

        <p>I&rsquo;d love to hear form you! Complete the form to send me an email.</p>

        <form method="post" action="contact.php">

            <table>
                <tr>
                    <th>
                        <label for="name"> Name </label> 
                    </th>
                    <td>
                        <input type="text" name="name" id="name">
                    </td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <th>
                        <label for="email"> Email </label> 
                    </th>
                    <td>
                        <input type="text" name="email" id="email">
                    </td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <th>
                        <label for="message"> Message </label> 
                    </th>
                    <td>
                        <textarea name="message" id="message"></textarea>
                    </td>
                </tr>
            </table>
            <input type="submit" value="Send">

        </form>

    </div>

</div>

<?php include('inc/footer.php'); ?>

Ah, fixed it, it's that "?" behind request method. deleted it and it fixed it.

odd though, it showed up as a space in the code O.o
