PHP Bug Type:     Zend Engine 2 problem
Bug description:  "$obj = new $this->var;" doesn't work

The following snippet is a parse error in PHP5-ZE2 (used to work on earlier
versions). This feature is also used in Smarty templates.

<?php
class Test {
	function say_hello() {
		echo "Hello world";
	}
}

class Factory {
	var $name = "Test";
	function create() {
		$obj = new $this->name; /* Parse error */
		return $obj;
	}
}
$factory = new Factory;
$test = $factory->create();
$test->say_hello();
?>
