How can a developer determine the most appropriate design pattern to use for managing the "administration" aspects of a website, aside from MVC?

When determining the most appropriate design pattern for managing the "administration" aspects of a website, a developer can consider using the Singleton pattern. This pattern ensures that only one instance of a class is created and provides a global point of access to that instance, making it ideal for managing centralized functionality such as administration tasks.

class AdminManager {
    private static $instance;

    private function __construct() {
        // Constructor is made private to prevent direct instantiation
    }

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

    public function performAdminTask() {
        // Code to perform administration task
    }
}

// Usage
$adminManager = AdminManager::getInstance();
$adminManager->performAdminTask();
