/**

* Abstract Factory pattern

* Purpose:

* to create series of related or dependant objects without specifying their concrete classes,

* usually the created classes all implement the same interface

* Examples:

* - A Factory to create media in a CMS: classes would be text, audio, video, picture

* - SQL Factory (types are all strings with SQL, but they vary in detail (tables, fields, etc.))

* - Zend Framework: Zend_Form::createElement() creates form elements, but you could also call new T

* TextElement() instead

* - an abstract factory to create various exceptions (e.g. Doctrine2 uses this method)

abstract class AbstractFactory

{

/**

* @static

* @param string $content

* @return AbstractFactory\Text

public static function createText($content)

{

return new AbstractFactory\Text($content);

}

/**

* @static

* @param string $path

* @param string $name

* @return AbstractFactory\Picture

public static function createPicture($path, $name = '')

{

return new AbstractFactory\Picture($path, $name);

}
