Instantiating class by string in current namespace

Question

I\'m trying to instantiate an object of a dynamically created classname. I\'m using namespaces and the class I want to instantiate is in the same namespace.

To examplify

Answer 1

When you use a string with new you need to provide a fully qualified class name.

You can do this with __NAMESPACE__:

$fullclass = __NAMESPACE__ . '\\' . $class;
new $fullclass;

See the documentation for the new operator and the __NAMESPACE__ magic constant.
