Since the __CLASS__ constant is used, the Singleton pattern won't work as a Base Class which you would want to implement into your classes. Thus the following will _not_ work: <?php class Singleton { private static $_instance; final private function __construct() { } public static function getSingleton() { if(!isset(self::$_instance)) { $tmpName = __CLASS__; self::$_instance = new $tmpName; } return self::$_instance; } public function NameSingletonClass() { echo __CLASS__; } public function __clone() { } } class MyClass extends Singleton { public function NameMyClass() { echo __CLASS__; } } $instance = MyClass::getSingleton(); $instance->NameSingletonClass(); // you'll get a nice Call to undefined method Songleton::NameMyClass() Error $instance->NameMyClass(); ?> Kind of stupid if one has to write a Singleton-Pattern for each Class... or did I miss something? ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.patterns.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+51150 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51150&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51150&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51150&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51150&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51150&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+51150&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
