I think an important part of Single Responsibility Principle which is being forgotten is, group things that change for the same reason.
It's my understanding that you have one responsibility creating a stream, it's suggested that instead of having a single factory that creates multiple kinds of streams, you have multiple different factories. This would mean if I change how a stream is created I would have to then edit multiple factories. This would breach Single Responsibility Principle. Also the fact we only have one responsibility - creating streams would lead us to the fact that we only need one factory. If anything it would be a case of having a single highly flexible interface and each of "MemoryStreamFactoryInterface", "CallbackStreamFactoryInterface", "ResourceStreamFactoryInterface", would actually just be classes that implement the factory interface. Since each of them are actually implementations of a factory. Iain -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PHP Framework Interoperability Group" group.
