First thing is the PHP, unlike Java has first class functions. Second
thing, is that PHP, like most scripting languages has an implicit
entry point at the beginning of the invoked file so all you need to do
is this:

BOF>>>>>>>>>>>
<?php

$obj = new myclass();

class myclass{
//my class's code
}

?>
<<<<<<<<<<<EOF

Although its generally considered neater to put class definitions in
their own include file so...

BOF>>>>>>>>>>>
<?php

require_once('myclass.inc.php');
$obj = new myclass();

?>
<<<<<<<<<<<EOF
