Normative Pattern

Though this code is valid , I still can't use it more clearly , Maybe some day check back this code more time , I can unstande how to use it :

<?php /** * normative pattern example */ class Traveler { public $min_temp; } class Destination { protected $avg_temps; public function __construct($avg_temps) { $this->avg_temps = $avg_temps; } public function getAvgTempByMonth($month) { $key = ( int ) $month - 1; if (array_key_exists ( $key, $this->avg_temps )) { return $this->avg_temps [$key]; } } } class Trip { public $date; public $traveler; public $destination; } class TripRequiredTemperatureSpecification { public function isSatisfiedBy($trip) { $trip_temp = $trip->destination->getAvgTempByMonth ( date ( 'm', $trip->date ) ); return ($trip_temp >= $trip->traveler->min_temp); } } class DestinationRequiredTemperatureSpecification { protected $temp; protected $month; public function __construct($traveler, $date) { $this->temp = $traveler->min_temp; $this->month = date ( 'm', $date ); } function isSatisfiedBy($destination) { return ($destination->getAvgTempByMonth ( $this->month ) >= $this->temp); } } //test part $destinations = array ('Toronto' => new Destination ( array (24, 25, 33, 43, 54, 63, 69, 69, 61, 50, 41, 29 ) ), 'Cancun' => new Destination ( array (74, 75, 78, 80, 82, 84, 84, 84, 83, 81, 78, 76 ) ) ); $vicki = new Traveler (); $vicki->min_temp = 70; $toronto = $destinations ['Cancun']; $trip = new Trip (); $trip->traveler = $vicki; $trip->destination = $toronto; $trip->date = mktime ( 0, 0, 0, 2, 11, 2005 ); $warm_enough_check = new TripRequiredTemperatureSpecification (); //var_dump($warm_enough_check->isSatisfiedBy($trip));//return false $warm_enough = new DestinationRequiredTemperatureSpecification ( $vicki, $trip->date ); foreach ( $destinations as $dest ) { if ($warm_enough->isSatisfiedBy ( $dest )) { $valid_destinations [] = $dest; } } //var_dump($valid_destinations); //a list of satisfied destination class DataSource { protected $store = array (); function get($key) { if (array_key_exists ( $key, $this->store )) return $this->store [$key]; } function set($key, $val) { $this->store [$key] = $val; } } class FieldGreaterThanOrEqualSpecification { protected $field; protected $value; public function __construct($field, $value) { $this->field = $field; $this->value = $value; } public function isSatisfiedBy($datasource) { return ($datasource->get ( $this->field ) >= $this->value); } } $ds = new DataSource (); $ds->set ( 'name', 'Jason' ); $ds->set ( 'age', 34 ); $ds->set ( 'email', 'jsweat_php@yahoo.com' ); $ds->set ( 'sex', 'male' ); $adult = new FieldGreaterThanOrEqualSpecification ( 'age', 18 ); $presidential_age = new FieldGreaterThanOrEqualSpecification ( 'age', 35 ); //var_dump ( $adult->isSatisfiedBy ( $ds ) ); //var_dump ( $presidential_age->isSatisfiedBy ( $ds ) );
