To add to my growing library of Design Patterns in PHP 5 I have
written what I think is a good example of the Singleton Pattern.

http://www.fluffycat.com/PHP-Design-Patterns/Singleton/

In the classic singleton pattern an object will distribute one and
only one instance of itself. This can be useful for the sharing of
resources such as a single db or network connection.

A variation, sometimes called a multiton, would distribute a limited
number of instances of itself. Useful, say if you had a limited
number of db connections to share.
