FWIW, this problem is still present in a post-nested-class ZE2 build:
<?php
namespace Foo
{
class Bar
{
}
}
$name = 'Foo::Bar';
$obj = new $name;
print_r($obj);
?>

Don't know if this is the same issue or not, but it's certainly
related. You can't use $obj = new $name for nested classes either. For
example:
<?php
class Foo {
class Bar {
}
}
$obj1 = new Foo; // works
$obj2 = new Foo::Bar; // works
$name = 'Foo';
$obj3 = new $name; // works
$name = 'Foo::Bar';
$obj4 = new $name; // Fatal error: Class 'foo::bar' not found
?>

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();
?>
