Hi, Simon
Sorry for this out-of-context post - but just to answer to Simon's question:
One way of implementing Singleton in PHP is written down in the php-manual:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.patterns.php
I personally would also declare __clone() and __wakeup() as private,
but that's something personal :)
If you have many places where you'd like to use the Singleton-pattern
you may now think of having one class where you define the pattern
itself and extending other classes from that ... But that does not
seem the good way to me because this classes are not related at all,
in case of content.
Other frameworks are using interfaces but they have to write the code
for the implementation over and over again.
Here's where traids make the most sense to me:
