I have the following email generated automatically. When it is triggered and I am sent an email, I only get “MESSAGE PART 1”. The if statement, and everything after the if statement (including REST OF MESSAGE) never gets sent. How can this be done?

/*----SEND EMAIL TO STUDENT----*/
$to      = $studentEmail;
$subject = 'Title';
$message = 'Dear '.$studentFirstName.',

MESSAGE PART 1';

if ($bubbleWrap == true) {
'Bubble Wrap ($5)';
}

'REST OF MESSAGE';

$headers = 'From: CustomerService@GuysAndDollies.com' . "\r\n" .
    'Reply-To: customerservice@GuysAndDollies.com' . "\r\n" .
    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

    You need to concatenate the remaining strings with the original:

    $message = 'Dear '.$studentFirstName.', MESSAGE PART 1';
if ($bubbleWrap == true) {
    $message .= 'Bubble Wrap ($5)';
}
$message .= 'REST OF MESSAGE';

    Currently you just have two string literals which will do absolutely nothing on their own.
