copied!<p>You should just not use Singletons. They're Bad Practice(tm), as they introduce global state, which makes your Code much harder to test.</p> <p>One could rewrite your example by using Inversion Of Control this way:</p> <pre><code><?php // A simple Singleton for the Application function Application() { static $instance = null; if (null === $instance) { $instance = new Application; } return $instance; } class Application { protected $someService; function __construct() { $this->someService = new SomeService($this); } function test() { echo "Good."; } } class SomeService { protected $application; function __construct(Application $app) { $this->application = $app; } function test() { $this->application->test(); } } </code></pre> <p><code>Application</code> is your Main Application's class and <code>SomeService</code> is your <code>Singleton2</code>.</p> <p>No need for private constructors, etc. here and <code>SomeService</code> gets only instantiated once, with your App (considered you only instantiate your App once).</p> <p>Repeat this with other Services you want to add to your App instance.</p> <p>Some good articles on this, which are worth reading:</p> <ol> <li><a href="http://www.potstuck.com/2009/01/08/php-dependency-injection/" rel="nofollow">http://www.potstuck.com/2009/01/08/php-dependency-injection/</a></li> <li><a href="http://fabien.potencier.org/article/11/what-is-dependency-injection" rel="nofollow">http://fabien.potencier.org/article/11/what-is-dependency-injection</a></li> </ol>
