Dynamically passing a class as a parameter and its method - php

Question

I have a class First and Second

class First{

//methods

}

class Second{

//methods

}

Another class named Third

I need to send those class names dynamically as a parameter to Third class method and load it like below.

class Third{

    function getData($id, $dynamicClass){  // class names first or second as a parameter
        $this->load->model($dynamicClass);
        $id = $this->$dynamicClass->insert($data);
        return $id; 
    }

}

How to achieve this?

Did you tried to access to property with braces notation $id = $this->{$dynamicClass}->insert($data); ? — jmgross

So how does $this->$dynamicClass get magically an instance of the class your passing by calling $this->load->model($dynamicClass)? — dbf

@huggilou if that assumption is true and that's something CodeIgniter offers then I would kick the hell out of it .. — dbf

You can access to your new loaded model using this notation :

$this->load->model($dynamicClass);
$id = $this->{$dynamicClass}->insert($data);
