1.2.397. Dynamically Called Classes

This rule reports when a class is called dynamically. To call dynamically a class, one must use a variable at instantiation time, or with the objects syntaxes.

<?php

// This class is called dynamically
class X {
    const CONSTANTE = 1;
}

$classe = 'X';

$x = new $classe();

echo $x::CONSTANTE;

?>
