new Instance of class from variable

[sgalonska]

hello,

I would like to create a new instance of a class, where the classname comes from a variable. Is it possible? I mean something like

$myObject = new {$classname}();

Would be quite thankful for any help.

Something like this, you mean?

class foo {
	var $gadget='Feng Shui';
	function foo(){echo "FOO!\n";}
}
class bar {
	var $widget='Lebensraum';
	function bar(){echo "BAAAA!\n";}
}

$whichclass = 'bar';

$thingy = new $whichclass();

var_dump($thingy);

Yes, you´re right. What I did wrong was that I used

$myObject = new get_class($this);

instead of

$_myClass = get_class($this);
$myObject = new $_myClass;
