Replacing value with variable -- is this possible?

Inside an article tag I would like to do the following replacement (obviously bad code but you get the idea):

$foo = <txp:custom_field name="people" />
<txp:article_custom id="$foo" form="eventPeopleOutput" />

Is there a way to do this?

What I’m trying to do is first output a parent article. This parent article has a custom field value which contains a number. This number refers to the ID of an article I want to output (via the article_custom tag). But I haven’t figured out a way to pass that $foo variable.

Answering own question, though perhaps there’s a better way…

<txp:php>
$authorname = custom_field (array('name' => 'people',));
echo '<txp:article_custom id="'.$authorname.'" form="eventPeopleOutput" />';
</txp:php>

TXP 4.0.6 and lower:

<txp:php>
  $authorname = custom_field(array('name' => 'people'));
  echo article_custom(array('id' => $authorname, 'form' => 'eventPeopleOutput' />;
</txp:php>

TXP 4.0.7 (not yet released) and higher

<txp:article_custom id='<txp:custom_field name="people" />' form="eventPeopleOutput" />

Re: Replacing value with variable -- is this possible?

If I understand it correctly you can achieve this with TXP 4.0.6 and lower also using plugin asy_wondertag:

<txp:asy_wondertag>
<txp:article_custom id="<txp:custom_field name="people" />" form="eventPeopleOutput" />
</txp:asy_wondertag>
