How to call the right object classes based on variable in PHP? -
situation
using php 5.5,
i allow user submit form has dropdown.
based on dropdown, call different classes particular operation.
what's wrong?
currently, use switch case, number of classes balloon 3 25. switch case ugly.
this code
// call right reader based on vendor switch($vendor) { case 'a': $vendorreader = new areader(); break; case 'b': $vendorreader = new breader(); break; case 'c': default: $vendorreader = new creader(); break; }
i deliberately named these classes way, easier use variable $vendor
call constructor of relevant $vendorreader
class.
what's way call right reader class based on variable?
if user selection coming dropdown, can infer it's coming form via get/post? in case, can not use name of menu?
if (isset($_post['my_class_selection_dropdown)) { $selection = $_post['my_class_selection_dropdown]; if(class_exists($selection)) { $vendorreader = new $selection(); } } }
