Apply inline CSS to PHP preg_replace or str_replace function

I have a PHP function that is calling the following:

function availability_filter_func($availability) {
    $replacement =  'Out of Stock - Contact Us';
    if(is_single(array(3186,3518)))
        $availability['availability'] = str_ireplace('Out of stock', $replacement, $availability['availability']);
}

As you can see I am replacing the text string with custom text, however I need the "Contact Us" text to be <a href="mailto:[email protected]">Contact Us </a> - how would I go about doing this? Inputting raw html into the replacement string makes the html a part of the output.

Echo does not work and breaks the PHP function - same with trying to escape the PHP function, inserting html on on the entire string, and unescape the function.

Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.

Try the Heredoc Syntax 

$replacement = <<<LINK 
<a href="mailto:[email protected]">Contact Us</a>
LINK;

Your code seems to be a complex way of doing this

function availability_filter_func($availability) {
    $default = "Out of Stock";
    $string = "<a href='mailto:[email protected]'>Contact Us</a>";
    if($availablity !== "") {
        $return = $availability;
    } else {
        $return = $default;
    }
    return "$return - $string";
}
