Multi-Singleton in PHP

programming

Ok, I’m trying to do something similar to Singleton (http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.patterns.php), but keep a list of multiple instances, one for each $user.

I’ve tried about a million different versions of this, but I keep getting an error:

Line 197 being the function definition, of course.

class Conversations {
    var $instances;
    
    public static function getConvo ($user) {
        sEcho('getConvo called for user '.$user.'; ');
        foreach (self::$instances as $instance) {
            sEcho('Instance: ');
        }
        // Call statically to get user convo
        if (self::$instances[$user]) {
            sEcho('Instance exists. Returning '.$user);
            return self::$instances[$user];
        } else {
            sEcho('Creating new Conversation for '.$user);
            self::$instances[$user] = new Conversation($user);
            //sEcho(print_r($instances));
            return self::$instances[$user];
        }
    }
}

Please help, since I’d like to finish this as quickly as possible. Hopefully before my friend and I go to bed.

Thanks :slight_smile:
