    Yes, but only if you really want it. It’s a bit awkward:

    $obj = new ${!${''}="entry_$type"}();

    From: Code-Golf: one line PHP syntax

    PHP wants to eventually move to a proper parser that uses an Abstract Syntax Tree, which might tighten up syntax holes that currently prevent, for example, new ("entry_$type")() or something like that.
