Initialize class objects problem

Question

I initialize class objects something like this and it works.

$obj = new Model_Person_DbTable();

But when do it like this:

$className = 'Model_Person_DbTable()';
$obj = new $className;

Then it show following fatal error:

Model_Person_DbTable() class not found.

How can I achieve this in PHP/Zend

$className = 'Model_Person_DbTable';$obj = new $className(); — Shakti Singh

Try without the brackets (they are not part of the class name)

$className = 'Model_Person_DbTable';

If that doesnt help, make sure your autoloader and include path is set up correctly.
