note 52027 added to language.oop5.patterns

Singletons and subclasses will fail because __construct has to be public SOMEWHERE in the base class and cannot be hidden in sub classes. Even if the base class is an abstract class (which helps a little). You can get abstract base class and singleton sub class working fine EXCEPT that you can create an instance of the subclass if you use new class(); rather than class::singleton(); So. After many hours of trial and error, no mixing of singletons and subclasses. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.patterns.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+52027 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52027&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52027&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52027&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52027&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52027&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+52027&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
