Hi,
What you have should work:
$table1 = new $originTable();
This is the most basic form of reflection in PHP, and has been supported
natively since ages ago.
If it doesn't work, you should turn on error reporting and examine the
errors you get. Chances are the classes you're trying to instantiate aren't
included yet, in which case you could use
Zend_Load::loadClass($originTable).
For more examples on this, check out Zend_Db::factory().
