The following sections explore a few patterns, mainly as a vehicle for showcasing some of the advanced OO techniques available in PHP.    They cover the Adapter pattern first, showing how it can be used to create an alternative to an API object (a database layer, in their case). They follow this up with a quick look at the Template pattern, handy to create a set of "hidden" values inside of a extended class.
