Check out PHP's documentation on string interpolation

You want something like:

$email = "something@somewhere.com";
$body = "Your email address is: $email, hooray!";
echo $body;

Which will output Your email address is: something@somewhere.com, hooray!

Yes, I understand that. You can place the parameters into your URL using the method I described. – Seventoes Nov 01 '14 at 05:42

Why you echo $email_address and where you initialize your email_address proper way to do like this

 $email_body = "You have received a new message. Here are the details: Kindly<a href='localhost/ci/email_wait.php?email_address='".$email_address."'&password='".$password."'>Click Here</a> to reset your password";

and you can also send mail from localhost through smtp settings and put headers also before mail like this

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=UTF-8" . "\r\n";
