I'd like to put the tiny details of the factory pattern to the side (at least momentarily) and introduce the topics that I plan to cover in this final article of the series. In this last tutorial I'm going to teach you how to implement this useful pattern to build a bunch of highly-customizable content boxes, which can be quickly included into any web page.

Building on the foundation from previous parts of the series, they create the different boxes with different types (like GreyContentBox and BlueContentBox based on ContentBox) and displaying them to a page via calls to their Factory interfaces.

The power failures are very rare in Denmark, but nonetheless this one managed to take out the build box. The website itself is not affected, but there are no updates for the time being.

The PECL4WIN project hosts a repository of PECL extensions precompiled for the Windows platform. The packaging and distribution system used by PECL is shared with its sister, PEAR.

UPDATE (11.15.2006) - The box is back up and working at 100% again (faulty memory was to blame). A new build has already been created.

He also includes an example of a request to the server, dialing another phone number based on the name of the person. There's also a screenshot of the application showing a portion of its interface.

He doesn't offer the code up for download yet, so don't get too excited. He does hint, though, at some future functionality he might be adding other features as well.

As an illustration of its possiblity, he points to this article from Andreas Korthaus showing how it's done under various different types of installs (Apache/CGI, Aapche/suphp).
