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

I have another question.
Your static function factory, can I name it something else?

PHP Code:


			
public static function &getType($szType = '') {
if(!is_object(self::$pDB))
        {
            switch($szType)
            {
                case 'mysql':
                    self::$pDB = new DBmysql;
                    break;
                case 'mssql':
                    self::$pDB = new DBmssql;
                    break;
                default:
                    self::$pDB = new DBmysql;
                    break;
            }
        }
        return self::$pDB;
    } 
}

PHP Code:


			
$db = DB::getType('mysql');
$db->connect()->query('...');

???
