Hi, here's my simple Singleton example, i think it can be useful for someone. You can use this pattern to connect to the database for example.

<?php

  class MySingleton
  {
    private static $instance = null;

    private function __construct()
    {
      $this-> name = 'Freddy';

    }

    public static function getInstance()
    {
      if(self::$instance == null)
      {
        print "Object created!<br>";
        self::$instance = new self;

      }

      return self::$instance;

    }

    public function sayHello()
    {
      print "Hello my name is {$this-> name}!<br>";

    }

    public function setName($name)
    {
      $this-> name = $name;

    }

  }

  //

  $objA = MySingleton::getInstance(); // Object created!

  $objA-> sayHello(); // Hello my name is Freddy!

  $objA-> setName("Alex");

  $objA-> sayHello(); // Hello my name is Alex!

  $objB = MySingleton::getInstance();

  $objB-> sayHello(); // Hello my name is Alex!

  $objB-> setName("Bob");

  $objA-> sayHello(); // Hello my name is Bob!

?>
