Question: I want to create an HTML Message to send an email in PHP.

```
$message = $mess0 . "</br>" . $mess1 . "</br>" . $mess2 . "</br>" .  $mes1 . "</br></br>" . $mes2 . "</br>" . $mes23 . "</br></br>" . $mes3  . "</br></br>" .  $mes4 . "</br>" . $mes5 . "</br>" . $mes6 . "</br>" . $mes7 . "</br>" .  $mes8 . "</br>" .  $mes9 .  "</br></br>" . $mes10 ;

$message =  <html><body><p>$message</p></body></html>;

```

Here are some variables.

I am getting the following error.
