Try this method, assign the posted values in variables, outside the $message variable and print the variable inside your $message variable

$firstname  = $_POST['firstname'];
$lastname   = $_POST['lastname'];
$title      = $_POST['title'];
$address    = $_POST['address'];
$phone      = $_POST['phone'];
$course     = $_POST['course'];
$website    = $_POST['website'];


    $message = 'Dear '.$firstName.', 
     Your Wele Message.'.'
     <table border=1>
        <tr>
            <td>First Name:</td>
            <td>'.$firstname.' </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Last Name:</td>
            <td>'.$lastname.'</td>
        </tr>
     <tr>
        <td>Title:</td>
        <td>'.$title.'</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Address:</td>
        <td>'.$address.'</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Phone Number:</td>
        <td>'.$phone.'</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Course Name:</td>
        <td>'.$course.'</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Website:</td>
        <td>'.$website.'</td>
    </tr>
</table>

$to       ="[email protected]";
$subject  = "Wele to Website";
$headers  = 'From: xxxxxx <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html;\n\tcharset=\"iso-8859-1\"\r\n";

$sent   = @mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers); 

        if ($sent) {
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }

Also add necessary header to send HTML mail as Vinoth Babu, Naveen suggested

$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = $name ." is contact ";

 $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\n";
 $headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\n";
@mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);

set headers to mime version & type of your message like text/html

To send HTML Content/Tables you have to add the following in the header of that mail,

// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
