Question

I have this code:

$node = new Node();

Now I want to make the ‘Node’ object dynamic
I get the dynamic name from my config class, this works:

$var = Config::instance('modules/activities/config')->get('className');
$node = new $var();

But how can I write this in 1 line?
This doensn’t work:

$node = new Config::instance('modules/activities/config')->get('className')();

Answer 1

My colleague helped my out, I made a static function in my helper class:

public static function factory($name = '',  $var = NULL)
{
    $object = new $name((isset($var)) ? $var : '');
    return $object;
}

now this is my code (looks a bit messy maybe):

$node = Helper::factory(Config::instance('modules/activities/config')->get('className'), $var);
