Pass variable number of variables to a class in PHP

Question

I need to pass a variable number of strings to instantiate different classes. I can always do a switch on the size of the array:

switch(count($a)) {
case 1:

It seems that reflection can pull this one out of the hat for you. This comes to you courtesy of the PHP call_user_func_array notes. The following code will create a class by calling the constructor with the contents of your array.

newInstanceArgs($args);
// this is the same as: new myCommand('a', 'b');
