Why isn't the variable being shown in PHP Mailer $subject?

Question

I've researched this particular issue here on Stackoverflow. As I was unable to find it, I concluded that I'm probably the only one who's ever had this little glitch.

More amusing: I know the solution is something rather trivial, and I feel silly that I can't put my finger on it (LOL)

I am trying to display a variable in the $subject heading of my PHP mail-function.

The variable is displaying everywhere else. Including the Title, and the Body of the email.

But, not the $subject.

   $to = $email;
   $subject = 'Your transaction details have been received (ID : $tran_id)';
   $email_body = "
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>TRANSACTION ID : $tran_id</title>
    </head>
    <body>      
    <p>Dear $firstname,</p>
    <p>Thank you registering.</p>
    <p>Your transaction ID is :  $tran_id
    </body>
    </html>

I am guessing the single quotes are the cause of the issue. But, can't figure it out.

please ... send your full code .. so can we understand .. easily . — RïshïKêsh Kümar, May 20 '17 at 19:57
Yes, of course. Single quotes, versus double quotes ))))) I knew it was something silly — phpnewbie2015, May 20 '17 at 20:08
@RïshïKêshKümar No they should add a [mcve]. No need to look over a complete project for a small problem that can be found easily like in this code. — Ivar, May 20 '17 at 20:08
