Ok, I thought maybe it would be quicker if someone could just point me
in the right direction, it must be an everyday thing to do with php
but I can't find a simple solution. Just websites tha confuse me with
great complex answers involving pear,perl and mime but I am not
interested in learning something new, I just need this to work in an
easy way with php.

After reading in the values I am trying to send the values $bokfor and
$bokeft in the following email. I receive the php code and not the
actual variable.

<?php
// multiple recipients
$to = 'garry(at)vasatrampet(dot)se' . ', ';
$to .= 'info(at)vasatrampet(dot)se';

// subject
$subject = 'Whatever';

// message
$message = "
<html>
<head>
<title>Bokningsbekräftelse</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Hej<?= $bokfor ?>&nbsp;<?= $bokeft ?>, tack för din bokning!</p>
</body>
</html>
";

// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

// Additional headers
$headers .= 'To: Garry <garry(at)cykeltours(dot)se>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Garry <garry(at)vasatrampet(dot)se>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Bcc: garry(at)vasatrampet(dot)se' . "\r\n";

// Mail it
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

Garry, this line is your problem:

<p>Hej<?= $bokfor ?>&nbsp;<?= $bokeft ?>, tack för din bokning!</p>

You're already in PHP - the <?= does nothing for you, other than print
out those characters. However, the ?> at the end terminates PHP; then
your &nbsp; and the rest is output to the browser.

However, I'm very surprised you didn't get an error - this would be
invalid PHP code (no ending ';' statement delimiter). You should ensure
your development system has the following in your php.ini file:

error_reporting=E_ALL // E_ALL | E_STRICT is even better
display_errors=on

Additionally, using <?= outputs to the screen, not appends to the
string, as you wish. However, it also depends on short_open_tags=on in
your php.ini file - not a good thing to count on (among other things, it
interferes with XML delimiters).

These two statements are exactly equivalent:

<?= $bokfor ?>

and

<?php echo $bokfor; ?>

If you would have used the longer version, it might have caught your
attention, also.

The solution is to change the line to:

<p>Hej" . $bokfor . "&nbsp;" . $bokeft . ', tack för din bokning!</p>

Or, since you're using double quotes, which will interpret PHP variables
within the string, you could just use:

<p>Hej $bokfor &nbsp; $bokeft, tack för din bokning!</p>
