Read the Docs of DesignPatternsPHP or Download as PDF/Epub
This is a collection of known design patterns and some sample code how to implement them in PHP. Every pattern has a small list of examples (most of them from Zend Framework, Symfony2 or Doctrine2 as I'm most familiar with this software).
I think the problem with patterns is that often people do know them but don't know when to apply which.
Installation
You should look at and run the tests to see what happens in the example.
To do this, you should install dependencies with Composer first:
[option] Using Docker
You can optionally run tests using Docker for Mac or Windows or native one for Linux. Just run:
docker-compose up
[optional] [DEPRECATED] Using a Virtual Machine (VM)
If you wish to use a ready made VM environment, you can easily create one with Vagrant and Ansible.
$ vagrant upThen vagrant ssh and cd /vagrant

Install dependencies
$ composer installRead more about how to install and use Composer on your local machine here.
Running test suite
