Abstract Factory Design Pattern in PHP

In the Abstract Factory Pattern, an abstract factory defines what objects the non-abstract or concrete factory will need to be able to create.

The concrete factory must create the correct objects for it's context, insuring that all objects created by the concrete factory have been chosen to be able to work correctly for a given circumstance.

In this example we have an abstract factory, AbstractBookFactory, that specifies two classes, AbstractPHPBook and AbstractMySQLBook, which will need to be created by the concrete factory.

The concrete class OReillyBookfactory extends AbstractBookFactory, and can create the OReillyMySQLBook and OReillyPHPBook classes, which are the correct classes for the context of OReilly.

<?php

/**
 * BookFactory classes
 */
abstract class AbstractBookFactory {
    abstract function makePHPBook();
    abstract function makeMySQLBook();
}

class OReillyBookFactory extends AbstractBookFactory {
    private $context = "OReilly";
    function makePHPBook() {
        return new OReillyPHPBook;
    }
    function makeMySQLBook() {
        return new OReillyMySQLBook;
    }
}

class SamsBookFactory extends AbstractBookFactory {
    private $context = "Sams";
    function makePHPBook() {
        return new SamsPHPBook;
    }
    function makeMySQLBook() {
        return new SamsMySQLBook;
    }
}

/**
 * Book classes
 */
abstract class AbstractBook {
    abstract function getAuthor();
    abstract function getTitle();
}

abstract class AbstractMySQLBook extends AbstractBook {
    protected $subject = "MySQL";
}

class OReillyMySQLBook extends AbstractMySQLBook {
    private $author;
    private $title;
    function __construct() {
        $this->author = 'George Reese, Randy Jay Yarger, and Tim King';
        $this->title = 'Managing and Using MySQL';
    }
    function getAuthor() {
        return $this->author;
    }
    function getTitle() {
        return $this->title;
