Question

I am doing the following in my PHP

public $message = "<p>A new user has requested to signup for Company Name</p>
                   <p><strong>Name:</strong>". $name ."</p>
                   <p><strong>Email Address:</strong>" . $email . "</p>
                   <p><strong>Contact Number:</strong>" . $contact_number . "</p>
                   <p>Please check the attached file, for further details.</p>
                   <p>Thanks,<br/>Company Name Email Centre</p>";

As you can see I am tring to create a small segment of HTML interspersed with some PHP variables, however I am getting the following error,

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘.’, expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’

It says this on line 31 which is the second <p> tag, however I cannot see a problem

public $message= "<p>A new user has requested to signup for Company Name</p>\
                   <p><strong>Name:</strong>". $name ."</p>\
                   <p><strong>Email Address:</strong>" . $email . "</p>\
                   <p><strong>Contact Number:</strong>" . $contact_number . "</p>\
                   <p>Please check the attached file, for further details.</p>\
                   <p>Thanks,<br/>Company Name Email Centre</p>";
