[PLUG] PHP class instances

[Daniel B. Herrington]

PHP gurus,

I discovered that I can instantiate classes with a variable name. i.e.:

I create a class called test, then in my script:

$var = test;
$testclass = new $var;

and a new instance of test gets created. I was wondering if this was bad
practice and if I should cease and desist before I make a habit of creating
instances of classes this way?

thanks,
Dan Herrington
