How to build a PHP Dependency Injection Container

Question

I\'ve recently learned about the advantages of using Dependency Injection (DI) in my PHP application. However, I\'m still unsure how to create my container for the dependencies

Answer 1

Instead of globals in your init.php define your objects like:

ioc::register('user', function() {
 return new User();
});

And inisde your create_friends_list method use:

ioc::get('user')->newUser($user_id);

This is a really plain implementation. Check out: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/dependency-injection-huh/?search_index=2
