Access Abstract Class Property dynamically (the Class)

Question

Given there are Abstract Classes and I want to access certain properties from different classes and I want a user Interface that the user might enter the class and the property.

Is there any better way than

$_class = "CLASSNAME";
$_prop  = "FILE";

$_eval = "return (" . $_class . "::$" . $_prop . ");"; 
$_val = eval( $_eval );

If the Class will be known (or only one class exists), I could use

$_val = CLASSNAME::$$_prop;

But how to replace CLASSNAME?

I believe you mean **static** properties, not *abstract*?! – deceze Aug 18 '14 at 11:07 — deceze, Aug 18 '14 at 11:07

May you find the power of Magic Constants and relize the error of using eval() (should be pronounced like "evil")
