The International PHP Magazine has wrapped up another pool this week - one that asked the question of what (of their choices) was the most common design pattern out there.

Choices for the poll were:

• Factory pattern
• Singleton pattern
• Observer Pattern
• Decorator Pattern
• Others

Top on the list was the Singleton pattern by a wide berth. Below it, coming in nearly twenty percent less was the Factory Pattern.

Be sure to check out and vote on this week's poll that asks, out of the given list of FAQ management applications, which does it the most effectively.
