Registry or a Service Locator?
What are they for, what makes them useful, and how do I use them?
I've searched all over but haven't been able any good answers.
Don't tear me apart. >.<

just some references for you... I'm sure somebody else can explain these better than I could
You should pick up a book on php patterns. I just read this one and it's pretty well writtin imo:

My boss was susposed to buy me books last week but never did. Hopefully next week they will be in my lap.
P.S. Thanks for the link to the registry thing that is making sense even through my lack of sleep.

I was going to ask my boss to buy me the books, but I didn't want to have to wait. I just bought them from sellers on amazon for dirt cheap. The corners are worn... definately not a problem worth paying $20 more to fix.
EDIT: And actually... that is not THE BEST book I've ever written by any means. It could have been better in a number of ways, but it definately improved my knowledge of design patterns. It did not, however mention one thing about service locators or dependancy injection, but I believe at the time of writing, few people had even conceived these concepts for php. I'm not sure though.
