While the use of () or not doesn't impede the function of his code, I consider
it good programming habit to always add () to the class creator. Since it is
creator? you mean constructor (same difference).
considered a function, you wouldn't call a function like x=function but
'method' would be more 'correct'. and I don't agree that it is considered
a function as you are not directly calling the constructor (if it even
exists), but rather instantiating an instance of a class.
but that is all rather purist, and not really in the spirit of php.
regardless you cant write ... :-)
class Test {}
$x = new (Test);
although you can do the following (for the benefit of the OP):
class Test {}
$a = "b"; $b = "Test"; $c = "a";
$d = ( ${${$c}} ); /* (the brackets are optional) */
$x = new $d; /* or: $x = $d(); */
$y = new ${("b")}; /* or: $y = new ${("b")}(); */
$z = new ${${$c}}; /* or: $z = new ${${$c}}(); */
${""} = new Test;
var_dump($x, $y, $z, ${""});
rather x=function(). It is more consistent that way.
Consistency shares a house with Standards, and you know what
they say about Stan ;-)

You have to show us the definition for your class, also your syntax for
new is wrong. It should be:
$liveclass = new Test();
it can also be (if you have nothing to pass to the constructor function):
$liveclass = new Test;

Here,s my guess:
var $liveclass;
$liveclass = new(Test);
echo $liveclass->get() ;
echo "<BR>" ;
echo "This is in the php code block" ;
