Garry, this line is your problem:
<p>Hej<?= $bokfor ?> <?= $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 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 . " " . $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 $bokeft, tack för din bokning!</p>
