Add href= tag to echo

Is it possible to add a "href=" tag to an echo line.

Something like this:
echo "$name, Sorry there's a problem sending your message. Please
try <a href="/mail.html">again</a>";

Yes, it's possible. But your single line of code is flawed. You should
really find out how strings work in PHP:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php
(pay attention to escaping and the use of ' and ")

Is this better ?

echo "$name, Sorry there's a problem sending your
message. Please try ";
echo "<a href='javascript:history.back(1);'>again</a>";

Yes. There are many ways. One of them is:

<html>
<?php
echo '' . htmlspecialchars( $name ) . ', ';
echo 'Sorry there's a problem sending your message. ';
echo 'Please <a href="/mail.html">try again</a>.';
?>
</html>

another:

<html>
<?php htmlspecialchars( $name ); ?>, 
Sorry there's a problem sending your message.
Please <a href="/mail.html">try again</a>.
</html>

Though the javascript URL is a horrible pratice.

BTW, the source of your original error was the the internal quotes.
if your string is surrounded by double quotes, it can't contain double
quotes (without escaping them - ie $string = "this \"is\" better";)
same goes with single quotes
$string = 'what\'s the deal';

unrelated: in my oppinion it's better to use single quotes

Just like in your first post, a normal http url will always work. "Going
back" can have side effects (just see some recent discussions (just
generate a new form pre-populated with the data you just got)), there is
no guarantee that there is actually an URL to go back to (the action
could have been opened in a new tab/browser), javascript could have been
disabled (just look at all security advisories that suggest disabling
javascript as a (temporary) workaround).

print "<a href=\"something\">Somewhere</a>";
print '<a href="somthing">'.$sData."</a>\n";
