class 
ifaceImpl implements iface {
    function 
f1() {}
}

abstract class 
abstractClass {
    function 
f1() { }
    abstract function 
f2();
}

class 
extends abstractClass {
    function 
f2() { }
}

$classes = array("C""iface""ifaceImpl""abstractClass""D");

foreach(
$classes  as $class ) {
    
$reflectionClass = new ReflectionClass($class);
    echo 
"Is $class instantiable?  ";
