Are there any specific design patterns, like the Facade Pattern, that can be applied to improve the instantiation process in PHP?

When dealing with complex object instantiation processes in PHP, the Builder Pattern can be applied to improve the process by separating the construction of an object from its representation. This pattern allows for the creation of different configurations for an object without directly exposing its construction details. 

<?php
// Builder Pattern example
class CarBuilder {
    private $car;

    public function __construct() {
        $this->car = new Car();
    }

    public function addEngine($engine) {
        $this->car->setEngine($engine);
        return $this;
    }

    public function addColor($color) {
        $this->car->setColor($color);
        return $this;
    }

    public function build() {
        return $this->car;
    }
}

class Car {
    private $engine;
    private $color;

    public function setEngine($engine) {
        $this->engine = $engine;
    }

    public function setColor($color) {
        $this->color = $color;
    }

    public function getDetails() {
        return "Car with {$this->color} color and {$this->engine} engine.";
    }
}

// Usage
$car = (new CarBuilder())
    ->addEngine('V8')
    ->addColor('red')
    ->build();

echo $car->getDetails(); // Output: Car with red color and V8 engine.
?>
