'new' operator

[nerhael]

Let's say I have an object called 'MyObject', and I have a string holding the value "MyObject", is there a way that I can instantiate an instance of 'MyObject' using that string value?

Basically, I'm going to have a string value that will be the name of an object, and want to instantiate whatever object it refers to.

Pete.

That's quite elegantly made in PHP, you just use the concept of variable variables combined with the new operator/class instantiation.


class Foo
{
var $prop = "bar";

function Foo() {

}
}

$anything = "Foo";
$myObj =& new $anything();

var_dump($myObj);
