Add HTML tag to the value stored in php variable not as echo

Question

I am building a simple php mail form and it has two different type of message style for sender and receiver each.

I do not just want to escape double quotes. Even i use something like <h2> or <strong> tags, it does not work.

$message1 = "Message 1";
$message2 = "Message 2";

mail($recipient, $subject, $message2, $mailheader) ;
mail($email, $subject2, $message2, $headers2) ;

Here I want to add some simple html style for Message 1 and Message 2

I tried

$message1 = "'<div style="color:#ff0000">' Message 1 '</div>'";
$message2 = "'<div style="color:#ff0000">' Message 2 '</div>'";

But it doesnt work. How can i achieve this?

you need to escape the double quotes like this $message1 = "
Message 1
"; $message2 = "
Message 2
"; @Shebas khan — JYoThI, May 17 '17 at 06:43
output is like this
Message 1
It just removes the code but text color doesnt change — , May 17 '17 at 06:46
$mailheader = "From: $email \r\n"; $headers2 = "From:" . $recipient; mail($recipient, $subject, $message1, $mailheader) ; mail($email, $subject2, $message2, $headers2) ; — , May 17 '17 at 07:04
change your header like this $emailheader ='From:'.$email. "\r\n" . 'Reply-To: '.$email. "\r\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion() . "\r\n" . 'Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1'."\r\n". 'MIME-Version: 1.0'."\r\n\r\n"; @ShebasKhan — JYoThI, May 17 '17 at 07:07

Do like this,

$message1 = '';
$message1 .= '<div style="color:#ff0000">';
$message1 .= 'Message 1';
$message1 .= '</div>';

you cannot add double quote inside double quotes

$message1 = '<div style="color:#ff0000"> Message 1 </div>';
$message2 = '<div style="color:#ff0000"> Message 2 </div>';

you can escape double quotes by adding slashes before it:

$message1 = "<div style=\"color:#ff0000\"> Message 1 </div>";
$message2 = "<div style=\"color:#ff0000\"> Message 2 </div>";

you need to change your header like this

$emailheader ='From:'.$email. "\r\n" . 'Reply-To: '.$email. "\r\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion() . "\r\n" . 'Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1'."\r\n". 'MIME-Version: 1.0'."\r\n\r\n";
