Passing a variable straight to a tag handler in txp:php

I’m a bit of PHP newbie, so I need some help with this one. I have a bunch of articles with image IDs saved in custom field 1, that I’d like to pass straight on to the txp:image function.

Obviously <txp:image id="<txp:custom_field name="custom1" />" /> is out, so I’ve got:

<txp:php>
$coverid = custom_field (array('name' => 'Cover Image ID (Main)'));
</txp:php>

to pull out the custom field content; how can I pass it on as an ID to use with the image() handler?

Thanks,
Rog

Two possible solutions:

1. Use asy_wondertag
2. Read The Gordian Knot
