I believe that this is the kind of clever, evil stuff the OP was trying to avoid... (evil - eval :-) - besides eval is very slow - not something you (well me then) want to use in a function dedicated to object creation which is comparatively slow anyway (try comparing the speed of cloning and creating objects in php5 for instance regardless - nice one for posting this Eli - I recommend anyone who doesn't understand what he wrote to go and figure it out, good learning material :-)

You're right that using eval() slows.. But using the _init() function as you suggested is actually tricking in a way you move the constructor params to another function, but the initialization params should be sent to the constructor!

I guess that it would be better if PHP will add a possibility to construct a dynamic class with variant number of params... ;-)
