Proxy em PHP
O Proxy é um padrão de projeto estrutural que fornece um objeto que atua como um substituto para um objeto de serviço real usado por um cliente. Um proxy recebe solicitações do cliente, realiza alguma tarefa (controle de acesso, armazenamento em cache etc.) e passa a solicitação para um objeto de serviço.
O objeto proxy tem a mesma interface que um serviço, o que o torna intercambiável com um objeto real quando passado para um cliente.

Popularidade:
Exemplos de uso: Embora o padrão Proxy não seja um convidado frequente na maioria das aplicações PHP, ele ainda é muito útil em alguns casos especiais. É insubstituível quando você deseja adicionar alguns comportamentos adicionais a um objeto de alguma classe existente sem alterar o código cliente.
Identificação: Proxies delegam todo o trabalho real para algum outro objeto. Cada método de proxy deve, no final, se referir a um objeto de serviço, a menos que o proxy seja uma subclasse de um serviço.
Exemplo conceitual
Este exemplo ilustra a estrutura do padrão de projeto Proxy. Ele se concentra em responder a estas perguntas:
- De quais classes ele consiste?
- Quais papéis essas classes desempenham?
- De que maneira os elementos do padrão estão relacionados?
Depois de aprender sobre a estrutura do padrão, será mais fácil entender o exemplo a seguir, com base em um caso de uso PHP do mundo real.

Exemplo do mundo real
Existem inúmeras maneiras pelas quais proxies podem ser usadas: armazenamento em cache, registro em log, controle de acesso, inicialização atrasada etc. Este exemplo demonstra como o padrão Proxy pode melhorar o desempenho de um objeto de download, armazenando em cache seus resultados.
index.php: Exemplo do mundo real
<?php
namespace RefactoringGuru\Proxy\RealWorld;
/**
* The Subject interface describes the interface of a real object.
*
* The truth is that many real apps may not have this interface clearly defined.
* If you're in that boat, your best bet would be to extend the Proxy from one
* of your existing application classes. If that's awkward, then extracting a
* proper interface should be your first step.
