Syntax help

I read a recordset into an array and one part is shown below. I need to replace the numeral 1 with the variable picture, which i tried to do by just replacing 1 with $picture but can't get it work, any ideas

"link"=>"<A HREF=\"profile.php?id=$row[id]\"><IMG SRC=\"pictures/$row[gallery1]\" WIDTH=\"132\" HEIGHT=\"175\" BORDER=\"0\"></A>",

I don't see any 1s but try this

"link"=>"<A HREF=\"profile.php?id=".$row['id']."\"><IMG SRC=\"pictures/".$row['gallery1']."\" WIDTH=\"132\" HEIGHT=\"175\" BORDER=\"0\"></A>",

Sorry, unclear, i Need to replace the 1 in gallery1 with the variable $picture ie. like $row[gallery$picture] but this doesn't work

try [code]"<A HREF=\"profile.php?id=$row[id]\"><IMG SRC=\"pictures/".$row['gallery'.$picture]."\" WIDTH=\"132\" HEIGHT=\"175\" BORDER=\"0\"></A>";[/code]

[code]

$row['gallery1']=$picture;

"link"=>"<A HREF=\"profile.php?id=".$row['id']."\"><IMG SRC=\"pictures/".$row['gallery1']."\"

WIDTH=\"132\" HEIGHT=\"175\" BORDER=\"0\"></A>",

[/code]

Still no luck, gallery1 refers to a row in a table. I also have a row called gallery2 and to create a random galery I have the random variable $picture with a value of either 1 or 2. The code works fine with a fixed [gallery1] or [gallery2] but not by trying to replace the 1 with $picture.


KrisNz's post looks closest to what i'm trying to do but still doesn't work giving the following
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in

Any ideas guys

[code]
"<a href=\"profile.php?id={$row['id']}\"><img src=\"pictures/{$row['gallery$picture']}\" width=\"132\" height=\"175\" border=\"0\"></a>";
[/code]

Nearly there, this doesn't produce an error but doesn't add the information contained in gallery$picture looking at the source code the image is just pictures/ with nothing tagged on

Any ideas

Still couldn't figure it out, but got around it by checking value of $picture and using two different statements with a fixed gallery1 or gallery2

I'd still love to know how to do it properly tho as my way is messy and only good as I only have two variable choices 1 or 2
