Extending singletons in PHP

Had I paid more attention in 5.3 class, I would have known how to solve this myself. Using the new late static binding feature of PHP 5.3, I believe Coronatus' proposition can be simplified into this:

class Singleton {
    protected static $instance;

    protected function __construct() { }

    final public static function getInstance() {
        if (!isset(static::$instance)) {
            static::$instance = new static();
        }

        return static::$instance;
    }

    final private function __clone() { }
}

I tried it out, and it works like a charm. Pre 5.3 is still a whole different story, though.

I have found a good solution.

the following is my code

abstract class Singleton
{
    protected static $instance; // must be protected static property ,since we must use static::$instance, private property will be error

    private function __construct(){} //must be private !!! [very important],otherwise we can create new father instance in it's Child class 

    final protected function __clone(){} #restrict clone

    public static function getInstance()
    {
        #must use static::$instance ,can not use self::$instance,self::$instance will always be Father's static property 
        if (! static::$instance instanceof static) {
            static::$instance = new static();
        }
        return static::$instance;
    }
}

class A extends Singleton
{
   protected static $instance; #must redefined property
}

class B extends A
{
    protected static $instance;
}

$a = A::getInstance();
$b = B::getInstance();
$c = B::getInstance();
$d = A::getInstance();
$e = A::getInstance();
echo "-------";

var_dump($a,$b,$c,$d,$e);

#object(A)#1 (0) { }
#object(B)#2 (0) { } 
#object(B)#2 (0) { } 
#object(A)#1 (0) { } 
#object(A)#1 (0) { }

You can refer http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.late-static-bindings.php for more info

Code:

abstract class Singleton
{
    protected function __construct()
    {
    }

    final public static function getInstance()
    {
        static $instances = array();

        $calledClass = get_called_class();

        if (!isset($instances[$calledClass]))
        {
            $instances[$calledClass] = new $calledClass();
        }

        return $instances[$calledClass];
    }

    final private function __clone()
    {
    }
}

class FileService extends Singleton
{
    // Lots of neat stuff in here
}

$fs = FileService::getInstance();

If you use PHP < 5.3, add this too:

// get_called_class() is only in PHP >= 5.3.
if (!function_exists('get_called_class'))
{
    function get_called_class()
    {
        $bt = debug_backtrace();
        $l = 0;
        do
        {
            $l++;
            $lines = file($bt[$l]['file']);
            $callerLine = $lines[$bt[$l]['line']-1];
            preg_match('/([a-zA-Z0-9\_]+)::'.$bt[$l]['function'].'/', $callerLine, $matches);
        } while ($matches[1] === 'parent' && $matches[1]);

        return $matches[1];
    }
}
