TalkPHP - View Single Post - Using the factory pattern (mad rantings of a mind without coffee)

hi m8,

I can see where you are coming from but there are a few ways to solve this problem, one of them being having a central config with a define() maybe, like so:
config.php

PHP Code:


			
//config
define('DB_TYPE', 'mysql'); //or oracle

then the call would be:

PHP Code:


			
$factory->connect(DB_TYPE);

the other alternitive is to maybe use the registry pattern, but thats a article for another day.

hope this helps :)
