This is a collection of known `design patterns`_ and some sample code how
to implement them in PHP. Every pattern has a small list of examples
(most of them from Zend Framework, Symfony2 or Doctrine2 as I'm most
familiar with this software).

I think the problem with patterns is that often people do know them but
don't know when to apply which.

Patterns
--------

The patterns can be structured in roughly three different categories.
Please click on **the title of every pattern's page** for a full explanation of the pattern on Wikipedia.

To establish a consistent code quality, please check your code using
`PHP CodeSniffer`_ against `PSR2 standard`_
using ``./vendor/bin/phpcs -p --standard=PSR2 --ignore=vendor .``.
