Note Submitter: russ dot collier at gmail dot com ---- Actually, aside from my inconsistent order of keywords in the 2 factory methods ;-) the Triangle::getInstance() method has 1 glaring flaw: it never actually sets the Triangle::$instance property. The correct way to implement a Singleton this way would be to replace Triangle::getInstance() with this: <?php static public function getInstance() { if ( null == self::$instance ) { self::$instance = new self; return self::$instance; } return self::$instance; } ?>
