1.Considering the code below, which of these statements are true?

<?php 
    ini_set("allow_url_fopen", "1");
    $page = file_get_contents("http://www.codepunker.com");
    if($page!=FALSE)
    echo "Successfully fetched website contents";
    else
    echo "An error has occurred";

The correct setting for loading web pages from a script is "allow_url_include"

The "allow_url_fopen" option can not be changed through ini_set. It can only be set in php.ini for security reasons

The if statement should be "if($page!==FALSE)" because "file_get_contents" can return non boolean values which evaluate to false

2.What is the output of the following script ?

  <?php
  function generate() {
      for ($i = 1; $i <= 3; $i++) 
          yield $i;
  }
  $generator = generate();
  if(is_array($generator))
    echo "Is Array";
  elseif(is_object($generator))
    echo "Is Object";
  else
    echo "Is none of the above";
  ?>

Is Array

Is Object

Is none of the above

3.What happens when the script below is executed ?

  <?php
    namespace CustomArea;
    error_reporting(E_ALL);
    ini_set("display_errors", "on");
    function var_dump($a)
    {
      return str_replace("Weird", $a, "Weird stuff can happen");
    }
    $a = "In programming";
    echo var_dump($a);
  ?>

PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare var_dump()

Weird stuff can happen

In programming stuff can happen

4.What is the output of the code below ?

    
    $now  = new DateTime();
    $now2 = new DateTime();

    $ago  = new DateInterval('P4Y10M3W');
    $ago2 = new DateInterval('P4Y10M2W7D');

    $then  = $now->sub($ago);
    $date1 = $then->format('Y-m-d');

    $then2 = $now2->sub($ago2);
    $date2 = $then2->format('Y-m-d');

    var_dump ($date1 === $date2);
    

bool(false) - because the '2W' part in $ago2 will get overwritten by the '7D' part and therefor the second date interval will be 2 Weeks shorter than the first interval.

bool(true) - because the two interval definitions are equivalent.

bool(false) and the script will throw a notice because the date/time interval notation in the $ago2 variable is wrong.

5.Considering the code below ...

  
    <?php 
        
    class AppException extends Exception
    {
      function __toString()
      {
        return "Your code has just thrown an exception: {$this->message}\n";
      }
    }

    class Students
    {
      public $first_name;
      public $last_name;

      public function __construct($first_name, $last_name)
      {
        if(empty($first_name))
        {
          throw new AppException('First Name is required', 1);
        }

        if(empty($last_name))
        {
          throw new AppException('Last Name is required', 2);
        }
      }
    }

    try {
     new Students('', ''); 
    } catch (Exception $e) {
      echo $e;
    }
  

... which of these statements are correct ?

The catch (Exception $e) statement is wrong because it accepts an instance of the Exception class as the parameter. It should use an instance of the AppException class instead.

The __toString() method can't be overwritten in a child class because the methods in the Exception class are all final but for the constructor

The magic __toString() method will be invoked automatically when the code enters the catch() statement and the custom exception message will be printed

6.What is the output of the code below ?

<?php 
  $a = array();
  $a[0] = 1;
  unset($a[0]);
  echo ($a != null) ? 'True' : 'False';

True

False

Parse Error

7.Which of the statements about traits below are true ?

PHP is "single inheritance" so traits allow coders to reuse sets of methods from the trait freely in several independent classes

An inherited member from a base class is overridden by a member inserted by a Trait, but members from the current class override Trait methods.

If two Traits insert a method with the same name in a class that uses them, a fatal error is produced and this naming conflict can not be bypassed

8.When dealing with cloned objects in PHP, which of the following statements are true ?

The programmer can make use of the __clone() magic method to stop an object from being cloned.

As of PHP 7.0.0, members of cloned objects can be accessed in a single expression without any assignments... Like this:
(clone new DateTime())->format('Y');

The __clone() magic method of a class is called before the actual cloning of the object occurs allowing the programmer to alter values before the cloning process begins.

9.What is the output of the following code block? $a = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog."; $b = array_map("strtoupper", explode(" ", $a)); foreach ($b as $value) { print "$value "; }
