Hey everyone. I have a question. Hopefully it's clear, because I'm not
sure quite how to ask it. Basically, I have a variety of different
objects that a variable can be instantiated as in the same block of
code, its type being determined at runtime. I want to be able to do
something like this:
$object = new $objType();
Where $objType is the type of object, which must be determined at
runtime. I'm sure the syntax I have above is incorrect. My question
No, you pretty much got it right:
class A{
public function e() {
echo Hello World;
}
}
$A = 'A';
$a = new $A();
$a-e();
is, is there any way that I can determine the object's type at runtime
and do the same type of thing?
You're asking a different thing there, but I'll throw it in for completeness:

(BTW, there's a distinction between classes and objects (random link:
