<?echo &quot;<a href=&quot;mailto:$em1&quot;> $id1 </a>&quot;;?>

any reason that that gives a parse error?

You need to use the escape clause to tell php that the &quot; in the href isn't the end of the string.
try:
Code: 
<? echo &quot;<a href=\&quot;mailto:$em1\&quot;>  $id1 </a>&quot;; ?>

Westbury is right.
IMO the safest and clearest way is to use concatenation:
Code: 
<?php echo '<href=&quot;mailto:'.$em1.'&quot;>'.$id1.'</a>';?>
