Design Pattern

A design pattern, or simply a pattern, is a general solution to a common problem. Design patterns also get a name, for easy reference.

Common design patterns in PHP:

• Factory

• Dependency injection

• Decorator

• Module

• Iterators

• This list is not exhaustive…

Design patterns are not dedicated to PHP, though most of them do apply to PHP.
