In a word 'concatenation', need to look up concatenation of strings

$myvar = 'I am this';
echo $myvar; //displays 'I am this'

$myvar = 'I am this';
$myvar = ' and I am that';
echo $myvar; //now displays only ' and I am that'

$myvar = 'I am this';
$myvar .= ' and I am that';
echo $myvar; //now displays 'I am this and I am that'


Also your code is just a strip down example, right? You are not really
doing the code exactly like this:

> $headers = "From: " . $_POST["name"];
> $headers .= "<" . $_POST["email"] . ">\r\n";

if so, stop and do a little research on security...
