new class from return value of a method

[flolam]

Hi

I have a problem with the following:

<?php
class ClassA {
  public $propertyClassName = "ClassB";

  public function methodClassName() {
    return "ClassB";
  }
}

class ClassB {
public function bmethod() {
	echo "great!";
}
}

//works
$a = new ClassA();
$b = new $a->propertyClassName();
$b->bmethod();

//doesn't work
$a = new ClassA();
$b = new $a->methodClassName();
$b->bmethod();
?>

Of course I could do

<?php
$a = new ClassA();
$className = $a->methodClassName();
$b = new $className;
$b->bmethod();
?>

but isn't there a way to do this without saving the method's return to a variable?

Thanks in advance

public function methodClassName() {
    return new ClassB;
  }
}
