If you have ever picked up a book or visited a website about design patterns, it is almost certain the examples in those resources are in Java. However, Doug on the forums posted a link to the website Patterns for PHP (external link), which focuses on design patterns in PHP. Currently they have articles on a good selection of design patterns:

  • Singleton
  • Registry
  • Factory
  • Abstract Factory
  • Strategy
  • Composite
  • Decorator
  • Lazy Initialisation
  • Transfer Object

For the most part these are the design patterns that people will use the most. If you have not utilised design patterns or simply want a quick resource to reference, then you should check out Patterns for PHP (external link).
