Note Submitter: o dot claudio at gmail dot com ---- I don't get the point of using the Singleton pattern in PHP. I have created and ran these example (class Example "Example.php" and the test page "examplepage.php"). I've commented out the lines that would issue errors (new Example & clone). When I call and reload examplepage.php in the browser, I *always* get the same response: "I am constructed Woof!", which means it's *always* creating a new instance of class Example. I expected that, starting from the second call to the page (reload), the response would be just "Woof". Am I doing something wrong?
