So, in effect, where name=bob, address=101 > east main, phone=555-5555, and blah=foo, echo "$email_body" would > look like this: > > bob, 101 east main, 555-5555, foo 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.
