Note Submitter: gaehngaehn at hotmail dot com ---- This might be trivial but took me some time to figure out. I needed to create an object of a class, but did not know the name of the class in advance. While vor methods/variables one can use strings (such as in $object->$variable), the following is not allowed: $a = new $class; The only way I could achieve that was to use eval: eval("\$a = new $class;");
