Assigning property to JS object using another objects property value as the property name

Question

I want to use the value of an objects property to name the property of another object. Easy to do in PHP:

$object1->property = 'name';
$object2->{$object1->property} = "value";
echo $object2->name; //outputs "value"

But in Javascript I can't figure out how to do this. The curly braces are used a different way.

Anyone know the php equivalent in javascript?

Thanks :)

object2[object1.property] = "value";
