PHP list,
I suspect this is a rather basic concept, but I could not find the
specifics in the online manual.
I have a set of classes, and the name of each class is stored in a
column in a table in my MySQL database. When I want to create an object
from one of my classes, I also query the database to get a bunch of data
the object needs, along with its name.
So what I end up with is a variable with the name of the class that I
want to use stored as a string.
This means that I want to create an object by naming which class with
the contents of a variable:
$className = "nameFromDatabase";
$object = new $className();
Is this possible?
If in doubt, test it out ;)
Yes, it will work.
