Re: [PHP] OOP, dynamic class extention

[Marek Kilimajer]

Why? I guess because php is interpreted language and is parsed only 
once, no preprocessor. Workaround is quite easy, use variable:

<?php

// settings to be set on install of the app
$MY_BASE_CLASS="base_class";
define("MY_BASE_CLASSFILE","base_class.php");
// require the class file
require_once(MY_BASE_CLASSFILE);
class my_child_class extends $MY_BASE_CLASS {
        // yada yada
}
?>
