I can't get around an issue instantiating a new class by using a string variable and PHP 5.3. namespaces. For example, this works;
$class = 'Reflection';
$object = new $class();
However, this does not;
$class = '\Application\Log\MyClass';
$object = new $class();
A fatal error gets thrown stating the class cannot be found. However it obviously can be instantiated if using the FQN i.e.;
$object = new \Application\Log\MyClass;
I've found this to be aparrent on PHP 5.3.2-1 but not not in later versions. Is there a work around for this?
