Initialize Class with Constant

[nikolai.onken]

Hey,

is it possible to define a constant - lets say

define('CLASS_NAME','Shows');

and then initialize the Shows class with

$obj = new CLASS_NAME();

This obviously doesn't work, but how would i have to do it to make it
work?
Best regards,

Nikolai Onken

Try it this way:

define('CLASS_NAME','Shows');
$classname = CLASS_NAME;
$obj = new $classname;
or with eval:

define('CLASS_NAME','Shows');
$obj = eval('new ' . CLASS_NAME . '();');
