<?php
// does $classname contain a name of a class? e.g:

class Test
{
function doIt() { echo "done it!\n"; }
}

$className = "Test";
$t = new $className;
$t->doIt();

// also look at the functions
// call_user_func() and call_user_func_array(),
// e.g:

call_user_func( array($className,"doIt") );

?>

BTW: I'm only using double-quotes when its really needed
because it makes testing the code in a linux shell 100 times
easier (when compared to using single-quotes).

AGAIN BTW: nobody understood your question so far because
'$classname->test();' is valid php syntax! (it just assumes
that $classname 'is' an object, not a string)

happy now? ;-)
