how to deal with a class by string in PHP

I have a call lets assume its called A

public class A{
...
}

how can I access the members of this class while I have the name of the class

what I need is something like this 

{"A"}::x=5;

instead of 

A::x=5;

class Foo {
    const BAR = 'bar';
    public static $baz = 'baz';
}

$foo = 'Foo';
echo $foo::BAR;
echo $foo::$baz;

This requires PHP 5.3+ though.

You can use ReflectionClass

class A {
        public static $x = 5;
}

$class = new ReflectionClass('A');
echo $class->getStaticPropertyValue('x');
