Here's a bash script showing the basics:

#!/usr/bin/bash

function mailsender {
recepient=$1
php -r "echo '$recepient';"
}

admin_mail=$1
mailsender $admin_mail

Note the use of double/single quotes within the mailsender function.

Also note that you do not need to use bash for this, but also pure php:

test.php:

<?php
if (isset($_SERVER['argv'][1])) {
echo "Hello {$_SERVER['argv'][1]}";
} else {
echo "Hello Unknown";
}
?>

Call: $ php -f test.php John
