problems with quotes

[XploreR]

Hi all.

I would like to seek help for my problem:

Code:

$platform = 'Playstation';
$game = 'Ace Combat II';
$table1 = 'PlaystationGames';
$table2 = 'PlaystationCodes';

$sql = "SELECT Id, Gid, Publisher, Developer FROM $table1 WHERE game='$game'";


The above code works but i would like to use the $platform variable inside $table1 and $table2.

I tried doing this but it dosen't work:


$platform = 'Playstation';
$game = 'Ace Combat II';
$table1 = '$platformGames';
$table2 = '$platformCodes';

$sql = "SELECT Id, Gid, Publisher, Developer FROM $table1 WHERE game='$game'";


Any help?
