Dynamically generate classes at runtime in php?

Here\'s what I want to do:

$clsName = substr(md5(rand()),0,10); //generate a random name
$cls = new $clsName(); //create a new instance

function __autoload(

This is almost certainly a bad idea.

I think your time would be better spent creating a script that would create your class definitions for you, and not trying to do it at runtime.

Something with a command-line signature like:

./generate_classes_from_db   [tables] [output dir]
