For now you can do: class MyAuth extends Auth { function MyAuth($filename, $name, $options = "") { /* .... */ $this->storage = $this->_factory($filename, $name, $options); } function _factory($filename, $name, $options) { require_once $filename; $storage_class = "Auth_Container_" . $name; return new $storage_class($options); } } and then call it via $foo = new MyAuth("/foo/bar/file.php", "myContainer"); Perhaps such a feature will be natively supported by Auth one fine day, but not today and not tomorrow :-). - Martin -- Martin Jansen, <mail@martin-jansen.de> http://www.martin-jansen.de/
