PHP Patterns

PHP Patterns

A PHP 5.4+ pattern collection that will cover design patterns, anti-patterns, closure patterns, refactoring patterns.

(This project is just a pattern catalog. To learn the patterns themselves, it would be better to refer to other resources.)

The Concepts

• Minimal and Conceptual (useful as a pattern catalog)
• Practical and Modern (following PSR-2 as possible etc.)
• PHP-specific (with built-in features and SPL etc.)
• Interface-oriented (but as simple as possible)
• Testable (including test cases as examples)

(Since focusing on the core concept of each pattern, some patterns might not be the same as the originals.)
