using a variable to represent a class? Can anyone help

[eluser]prestondocks[/eluser]
Hi, Can anyone enlighten me on how to set a property in a class, where the class name is held in a variable.

I am trying to set a class property based on the value of class name in $this->router->class. I have tried $this->router->class::view_data['site_name'] = 'xyz' but as I expected I get a php error

The exact error being

Code:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in C:\xampp\htdocs\intranet\system\application\modules\site\models\site_model.php on line 7

Can anyone help me out.

Thanks
Simon
