Yesterday I continued my series of design patterns examples using PHP
5 with the Bridge Pattern. Here now is my 18th design pattern
example, the Flyweight Pattern.

In the flyweight pattern we conserve resources by sharing instances of
a class which are identical.

The creating of these instances is controlled by a factory which will
only create one if it does not already exist, and will return the
shared instance to the requestor.
