Re: Package proposal: Unique

Hi! cagrET wrote:

Class:

Example: $Uniq =& Unique::instance(); $Uniq will be null here, unless I'm missing something.

before calling instance() u call factory() so it will contain object

1) factory() is not called in "example"; 2) it won't contain any object, 'cause the reference to 'static $instance' is *never* accessed/assigned to in factory(). The whole [non-working] 'factory' and 'instance' stuff looks like a "me too" implementation of design patterns without bothering to understand them.

this is not PEAR's DB class http://scg.milc.com.pl/cagret/mgcLib/Db/

Wow! Yet Another Database "Abstraction" Layer For PHP! :] "mgcLib::Db is a database library for php. Currently it supports MySQL and PostgreSQL ... NOTE: pgsql driver has not been testet yet (looking for some volunteer)"

i just proposed an idea

The idea is good, I used this approach several years ago, but the [attempt at] implementation kinda sux.
