Sure, because your $e is 'Object id#1'. Where is the problem? 'Object
id#2' == 'Object id#2', hence your singeton works.

If you create 123 other objects before your singleton intantiation, you
will get 'Object #124' as result.

Description:
------------
Singleton designed class in PHP 5.1.4 does not really return a single
object after instantiated several times. 

My PC computer
PHP 5.1.4
Windows XP SP2
MySQL 5.0.20

Testing Server:  

http://pcdinh.dotgeek.org/singleton/info.php

Reproduce code:
---------------
I have created a singleton class like this:
[php]
class Singleton {

        private static $instance = null;

        private function __construct() {
        }

        public static function getInstance() {
                if (!isset (self :: $instance)) {
                        $className = __CLASS__;
                        self :: $instance = new $className;
                }
                return self :: $instance;
        }

}
[/php]

The test file 1 is as follows:

[php]
<?php
require_once './Singleton.php';

$singleton = Singleton :: getInstance();
$singleton2 = Singleton :: getInstance();

print "$singleton<br />";
print "$singleton2<br />";
?>
[/php]


The test file 2 is as follows:
[php]
<?php
require_once "Singleton.php";

// This line make problems
$e = new RuntimeException();

$singleton = Singleton :: getInstance();
$singleton2 = Singleton :: getInstance();

print "$singleton<br />";
print "$singleton2<br />";
?>
[/php]







Expected result:
----------------
I expected that test file 1 returns

Object id #1
Object id #1

and test file 2 returns

Object id #1
Object id #1

because the class is designed to return the same object every time. A
class based on the Singleton pattern properly instantiates and
initializes one instance of the
class and provides access to the exact same object every time. However,
it is not the case here.

Actual result:
--------------
Running the test file 1 returns:

Object id #1
Object id #1

That result is Ok. It implies that singleton designed class has worked
correctly.

Running the test file 2 right after that returns:

Object id #2
Object id #2

It means that in a same session, same computer and very short interval
time of script execution between 2 test file, I have got 2 different
results:

Object id #2
Object id #2

and 

Object id #1
Object id #1

So what is the different between 2 test files: I added one line to test
file 2: $e = new RuntimeException(); or $e = new Exception(). If I
remove them, I will get my expected results.

You can test it here:

http://pcdinh.dotgeek.org/singleton/

I think there is a bug in Zend Engine 2. I get confused with how
singleton classes work in a stateless environment as in PHP.
