How do I join strings and variables together in PHP

I want to send an email using a form but I can't get the strings and variables to join together to make the format look nice. How do I do it and how do I make paragraphs in my message. (help part in red)

function sendmail()
{
//send email
$email = $_POST['emailto'] ;
$subject = $_POST['type'] ;
$message = $_POST['message'] ;
$name = $_POST['name'] ;
$emailaddress = $_POST['emailaddress'] ;
$newmessage = "Name: " . $name . " Email: " . $emailaddress . " Message: " . $message
mail($email, $subject, $newmessage);
echo ("Thank you. Your mail has been sent.");
}
?>

Thanks in advance.

Why not just change

$newmessage = "Name: " . $name . " Email: " . $emailaddress . " Message: " . $message 

Code (markup):

to

$newmessage = "Name: " . $name
. " Email: " . $emailaddress
. " Message: " . $message 

Code (markup):

 

this is better way around..

$string = "Name: " . $name;

// code

$string .= "Email" . $email;


$string .= "message : " . $message;

etcc....

 

You can put the entire line inside double quotes:

$newmessage = "Name: $name Email: $emailaddress Message: $message";

PHP:

 

And insert some newlines to make it more readable:

$newmessage = "Name: {$name}\nEmail: {$emailaddress}\nMessage: {$message}\n";

PHP:

 

Thanks everybody.
