JW has the correct solution. Another alternative is to use eval(),
but, as many have said before: "If eval is the answer, you're asking
the wrong question."

Just for kicks, here's how you could do it with eval() :

$commands = array(
"Start Date" => "build_date('startdate')",
"End Date" => "build_date('enddate')"
);

foreach($commands as $key => $val) {
echo "<td>$key</td>";
echo "<td>" . eval("return($val);") . "</td>";
}
