I would like to know how to bold face certain text in a contact form. I am sort of new at this. I would like categorize the output of the form. For example:
Contact Information: (in bold) Name:
Email: . . . Event / Trip Details: (in bold) Num of passengers: . . .
So far I have only "Contact information:" and "Event / Trip Details" below. I am not sure what to do to bold face them.
$formcontent="Contact Information:
Name: $name
Email: $email
Phone: $phone
Company / Group Name: $cmpny
Street Name:
$street
City, State, Zip Code: $city_st_zip
Respond Via:
$respond
Event / Trip Details:
Number of Passengers:
$num_passengers
Trip Type: $trip_type
Number of Pickups:
$num_pickups
Bus Size: $bus_size
Name: $pickup_name
Street Name: $pickup_street_name
City, State, Zip Code:
$pickup_city_st_zip
Depart Date: $depart_date
Depart Time:
$depart_time
Name: $dropoff_name
Street Name:
$dropoff_street_name
City, State, Zip Code: $dropoff_city_st_zip
Return Date: $dropoff_date
Return Time: $dropoff_time
Itinerary / Special Instructions / Additional Info: $spec_instr
Airport Meet & Greet: $meet_greet
ADA Accessible Coach: $ada

How did you find us? $find_us";
$recipient = "jldouglas58@gmail.com";
$subject = "Request for a Quote";
$mailheader = "From: $email
";
mail($recipient, $subject, $formcontent, $mailheader) or die("Error!");
header( 'Location: http://www.distancebrothers.com/quote-
confirmation.html') ;?>
First of all the email header shoud state that the mail is in HTML format.
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
";
Then you format your message in HTML eg:
$formcontent="<html> <body>Contact Information:
Name: <strong>$name </strong>
Email: $email
Phone: $phone
Company / Group Name: $cmpny
Street Name:
$street
City, State, Zip Code: $city_st_zip
Respond Via:
$respond
Event / Trip Details:
Number of Passengers:
$num_passengers
Trip Type: $trip_type
Number of Pickups:
$num_pickups
Bus Size: $bus_size
Name: $pickup_name
Street Name: $pickup_street_name
City, State, Zip Code:
$pickup_city_st_zip
Depart Date: $depart_date
Depart Time:
$depart_time
Name: $dropoff_name
Street Name:
$dropoff_street_name
City, State, Zip Code: $dropoff_city_st_zip
Return Date: $dropoff_date
Return Time: $dropoff_time
Itinerary / Special Instructions / Additional Info: $spec_instr
Airport Meet & Greet: $meet_greet
ADA Accessible Coach: $ada
Extra Storage: $extra
How did you find us? $find_us </body> </html>";
As I can understand you would like to print that ugly text as a HTML code. Use <strong> tag to make text bold:
<strong>Name:</strong>
<strong> Contact Information:</strong> Name:
<strong> Email: . . . Event / Trip Details:</strong> Num of passengers: . .
Content must be HTML. You can find free email templates in this website to make it appereance better;

And your content is a variable, it means your variables(like name,email) can not be readable for PHP. You need to parse the content variable.
