From: nick dot telford at ntlworld dot com Operating system: N/A PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: OOP5 "Patterns": Example not a Factory Method
Description: ------------ http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.patterns.php The first description and example identify the example to be a Factory Method, this is not strictly true, it's a Parameterized Factory Method (sometimes referred to simply as "Factory"), and is a slight derivation of the Factory Method pattern. A pure Factory Method doesn't use parameters to select the class(es) to instanciate, it uses multiple methods and acts slightly differently. Ultra low priority bug report, I know i'm being pedantic, but I felt it was worth reporting anyway.
