I am trying to declare an object by the value held in a string. So if a string holds 'Class1' i want to declare it by type Class1.

Something like this

$CT = "Class1";

if (class_exists($CT))

    $MyClass = new Type($CT);

I can do something like the following, but would rather do it as above if possible.

if (isset($_GET["CT"]))

    $CT = $_GET["CT"];

else

    $CT = "Class1";



echo "CT = " . $CT . "<br>";



switch ($CT)

{

    case "Class1":

        $MyClass = new Class1;

        break;



    case "Class2":

        $MyClass = new Class2;

        break;



    default:

        $MyClass = new Class1;

    

}



echo $MyClass->Result();



class Class1

{

    function Result()

    {

        return "I am Class 1";

    }

}



class Class2

{

    function Result()

    {

        return "I am Class 2";

    }

}

My Answer:
'Class1';
$object = new $CT();
