 * Hello,
 * guys you are so fantastic. Maybe you know a solution for this problem…
 * I am using the following code to read out the meta field named “GalleryID”.
 *     ```
       <?php
   
       function meta_galleryid() {
              global $id, $post_meta_cache;
   
               if ( $keys = get_post_custom_keys() ) {
                       foreach ( $keys as $key ) {
                               $values = array_map('trim', get_post_custom_values($key));
                               $value = implode($values,', ');
                               if ( $key == 'GalleryID' ) {
                                       echo "$value";
                               }
                       }
               }
       }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * This works fine. The result is for example “1” or “2” if I enter these numbers
   in the meta field.
 * I am using the NextGEN Gallery and by using the code <?php echo nggshowgallery(
   1,450,450); ?> the gallery with the ID 1 opens. I want to connect now this NEXTGen-
   Function with the display of the meta galleryID.
 * I thought that the following code will work:
 *     ```
       ...
       if ( $key == 'GalleryID' ) {
       echo "<?php echo nggshowgallery($value,450,450); ?>";
       ...
       ```
   
 * But it do not work… Also this do not work:
 * `<?php echo nggshowgallery(<?php meta_galleryid(); ?>,450,450); ?>`
 * Why not? What would be the solution? Is there any possibility to open a php within
   a php??
 * Thanks for your help guys
    Jen
