Usage examples: PHP has several built-in interfaces (SplSubject, SplObserver) that can be used to make your implementations of the Observer pattern compatible with the rest of the PHP code.

Identification: The pattern can be recognized by subscription methods, that store objects in a list and by calls to the update method issued to objects in that list.
