Description:
------------
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.patterns.php

The first description and example identify the example to be a Factory Method, this is not strictly true, it's a Parameterized Factory Method (sometimes referred to simply as "Factory"), and is a slight derivation of the Factory Method pattern.

A pure Factory Method doesn't use parameters to select the class(es) to instanciate, it uses multiple methods and acts slightly differently.

Ultra low priority bug report, I know i'm being pedantic, but I felt it was worth reporting anyway.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
