Hello all,

I have a class Foo.  In PHP4 I could create an instance of Foo in the following manner:
$className = "Foo";
$fooInstance = new $className;

This would yield the same result as:
$fooInstance = new Foo;

In my efforts to port this over to PHP5 I am having trouble.  Not only do I not get 
back an instance of my Foo class, but the script execution stops entirely without so 
much as a warning.  Is this a bug?  Is there a new mechanism in PHP5, such as a 
getInstance function (i.e. object getInstance (string className))?  Thanks in advance 
for any comments!

Daniel
