Just take the classname as variable in the new Operator:

class clase1 {
  function buenos() {
    echo "Bon día!\n";
  }
}

class clase2 {
  function buenos() {
   echo "Buenos días!\n";
  }
}

foreach (array(1,2) as $v) {
    $cn = 'clase' . $v;
    $c = new $cn();
    $c->buenos();
}
#--------------------
Bon día!
Buenos días!
