==== The factory pattern ====

<code php>
<?php 
interface IUser{
  function getName();
}

class User implements IUser{
  public function __construct($id){}
  
  function getName(){
    return 'Jack';
  }
}

class UserFactory{
  public static function Create($id){
    return new User($id);
  }
}

$uo = UserFactory::Create(1);
echo $uo->getName();
