Check out the eval() function:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.eval.php 

Also, you might want to consider altering your approach slightly. For
example, maybe something like this would be more appropriate:

$email_body = "$name, $address, $phone, $blah";

If you echo $email_body in this case, it will output:

bob, 101 east main, 555-5555, foo

Good luck.
