creator? you mean constructor (same difference).

considered a function, you wouldn't call a function like x=function but 


'method' would be more 'correct'. and I don't agree that it is considered
a function as you are not directly calling the constructor (if it even
exists), but rather instantiating an instance of a class.

but that is all rather purist, and not really in the spirit of php.
regardless you cant write ... :-)

class Test {}
$x = new (Test);

although you can do the following (for the benefit of the OP):

class Test {}
$a = b; $b = Test; $c = a;
$d = ( ${${$c}} );  /* (the brackets are optional) */
$x = new $d;/* or: $x = $d(); */
$y = new ${(b)};  /* or: $y = new ${(b)}(); */
$z = new ${${$c}};  /* or: $z = new ${${$c}}(); */
${} = new Test;
var_dump($x, $y, $z, ${});




rather x=function().  It is more consistent that way.


Consistency shares a house with Standards, and you know what
they say about Stan ;-)

Here,s my guess:


var $liveclass;
$liveclass = new(Test);
echo $liveclass-get() ;
echo BR ;
   echo This is in the php code block ;
