Is it possible to create a class object in php if the class name is given through a string?

Question

PHP

Let's say we have a code like this:

<?php
class Audi{}
class Ford{}

function getCar($name){
    //...
}

$audi = getCar('Audi');

Is it possible to implement the getCar function without going through all the possible class names using something standard from php?

Answer 1

function getCar($className){
    return new $className();
}
