How can Dependency Injection Containers be implemented in PHP to manage object dependencies more effectively?

Dependency Injection Containers can be implemented in PHP by creating a container class that manages the instantiation and injection of object dependencies. This allows for better decoupling of classes and makes it easier to manage dependencies throughout an application. 

class Container {
    private $dependencies = [];

    public function set($key, $value) {
        $this->dependencies[$key] = $value;
    }

    public function get($key) {
        if (isset($this->dependencies[$key])) {
            return $this->dependencies[$key];
        }

        return null;
    }
}

// Example of setting and getting dependencies from the container
$container = new Container();
$container->set('db', new Database());
$db = $container->get('db');
