Hello List,

I would like to create an object inside a function with its classname
and a parameter list submitted by the function call.

function create($class, $parameter) {
$obj = new $class($parameter);
return $obj;
}

This is working very well. But I have not every time the same count of
parameters for a class constructor.
If this is a normal method call of an object I can realise it like this:

$ret = call_user_func_array(array(&$obj, 'method'), $parameter_array);
The $parameter_array contains as many entries as the function needs.
Works well too.

But how can I write a function to instance objects with various count of
parameters in the constructor?
I know, can do this with an eval. But I would like to find a solution
where I don't need an eval.

thanks for all answers,
Thomas
