smth like Class.forName() in PHP?

Is there a way to create an instance of a class SomeClass in PHP having
a string "SomeClass"? The idea is to create instances on classes based
on dynamic information obtained from $_POST. Like

Java has a useful construct for that - Class.forName(). Is it possible
to do same in PHP? Like:

$obj = createClass($_POST['className'])

or smth?
