Which pattern should I use for my unique instance of the User class?

Question

I have this User class

class User{
  private    $logged = false;
  private    $id;

  public function User() {
      //> Check if the user is logged in wi         


        

Answer 1

Patterns are supposed to be a helpful guide, like a library of previously successful software abstractions. Too often these days people view patterns as being some kind of religion where things are either "right" or "wrong" regardless of the context of the program.

Think about what you want to achieve and map in out in a way that makes sense to you. Fuggering about with minute distinctions between this pattern and that pattern misses the point, and it won't get your program written. Learn by doing!

HTH.
