How to implement a plugin system?

Hello all,

I am working on a project which needs to have some sort of plugins
architecture and I am kinda stuck. Basically I want to give a list of
items to the user, and according to his/her selection, I want to load
relevant functionality into my application.


I was thinking of having an abstract plugin class, and have the
plugins implement that but then how would I actually load the plugins?
Say for instance I want to load plugins X,Y,Z (and lets say i
implemented them as [X|Y|Z].class.php) , should I just 'include' (or
require) them? Or should I initialize all possible plugins and just
pick the ones user has chosen (which sounds a bit pointless as it
would load unnecessary stuff)?


How would you go about doing something like this?


Thanks.
