I ran across this today and it surprised me:
$ php -r 'define("X", "stdClass"); $x = new X; var_dump($x);';
Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: x in Command line
code on line 1
I tested on php 4.4.0, 4.3.8 and 5.0.3, with the result that all
versions exhibit the same behavior.
Clearly there is an easy work around:
$ php -r 'define("X", "stdClass"); $y = X; $x = new $y; var_dump($x);'
object(stdClass)(0) {
}
But I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me as to why php would
be upset interpreting the constant as the class name. Thanks.

Jason
