Can I dynamically set new object name

Question

I want to create objects dynamically. Right now I'm creating them manually like this

$obj1 = new Prefix_Myobj();
$obj2 = new Prefix_Other();
$obj3 = new Prefix_Another();

How can I set the part after Prefix_ dynamically? I tried this but it didn't work

$name = 'Myobj';
$obj1 = new Prefix_{$name}();

Answer 1

You need to create a string that specifies the entire class name.

$name = 'Myobj';
$classname = 'Prefix_'.$name;
$obj1 = new $classname();

However, it might be better design to build a class registry of sorts rather than generating class names on the fly like this.
