The "patterns" chapter of the PHP 5 OOP part of the manual was removed [1] in mid-May. Jakub's reasoning for deletion, directly from his commit message, is: I have a very strong feeling that this chapter doesn't belong to the PHP Manual. It doesn't document the language but only some usage of it. It is vastly incomplete and the longest part is warning about using Singleton. I have no problem with including the examples somewhere else (probably to chapter about static methods). But it causes more harm than benefit as it is. I hope that provides an answer for you.
