Question

I have:

public $staticRoutes = array(
        'dog-toys' => 'Index',
        ) ;

if(array_key_exists($controller, $this->staticRoutes))
{
    $controller = new $controller ;
}

The new $controller is becoming ‘dog-toys’, which is not what I want.

How can I change what I have so that $controller = new Index ; ?

Answer 1

Some variation of:

$controller = new ${staticRoutes[$controller]} ;

I cannot test it right now, so to be safe you could also do:

$ctrl = $staticRoutes[$controller];
$controller = new $ctrl;
