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.When working with unfamiliar code, what is the best way to find out in which file a class is defined ?

Using ReflectionClass:

  <?php
  $reflection = new ReflectionClass('ClassName');
  echo $reflection->getFileName();
  ?>

Using the grep command to search through the application files:

  <?php
  $out = array();
  exec("grep -r 'Classname' .", $out);
  var_dump($out);
  ?>

Using the get_declared_classes() function:

  $classes = get_declared_classes();
  var_dump($classes);

4.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

5.Assuming that the code below is in a file named "test.php" and that PHP has full rights over the file, what happens if the file is executed from the command line without any arguments ?

  exec("rm -f " . dirname(__FILE__) . "/" .  $argv[0]);

The script exits without doing anything

The file test.php is deleted

A notice is thrown because $argv[0] is not defined and the script fails.

6.When running PHP's built in FastCGI Process Manager (FPM) which of the following statements are true ?

Settings initialized in the php-fpm.conf file with php_admin_flag can not be overwritten in the code through ini_set()

It doesn't provide any easy way of debugging slow performing requests/scripts

The special fastcgi_finish_request() function allows PHP to finish request and flush all data while continuing to do various tasks in the background.

7.Which of th following statements about object serialization are true ?

After serializing an object, a programmer can fully recreate that object in another file by calling unserialize() even if the class definition doesn't exist.

Static class properties can be serialized, but can not be unserialized.

Static class properties can not be serialized.

8.If you wanted a variable containing the letters A through Z, that allowed you to access each letter independently, which of the following approaches could you use?

explode("", "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ");

You would use the ALPHA_ARRAY constant

None of the above

9.What is the output of the following code block? $array = array(1 => 0, 2, 3, 4); array_splice($array, 3, count($array), array_merge(array('x'), array_slice($array, 3))); var_dump($array);

0 => 1, 2 => 2, 3 => 3, 4 => 4, x => 3

0 => 0, 1 => 2, 2 => 3, 3 => x, 4 => 4

0 => x, 1 => 0, 2 => 1, 3 => 2, 4 => 3

1 => 1, 3 => x, 2 => 2, 4 => 4

10.Which key will not be displayed from the following code block? $array = array('a' => 'John', 'b' => 'Coggeshall', 'c' => array('d' => 'John', 'e' => 'Smith')); function display($item, $key) { print "$key => $item\n"; } array_walk_recursive($array, "display");

11.Given the following array: $array = array(1,1,2,3,4,4,5,6,6,6,6,3,2,2,2); The fastest way to determine the total number a particular value appears in the array is to use which function?

1 => 0

1 => 3, 3 => 1, 4 => 3

3 => 1, 3=> 2, 4 => 3, 4=> 6

1 => 0, 3 => 2, 4 => 6

An empty Array

13.What is the best way to iterate and modify every element of an array using PHP 5?

You cannot modify an array during iteration.

for($i = 0; $i < count($array); $i++) { /* ... * / }

foreach($array as $key => &$val) { /* ... * / }

foreach($array as $key => $val) { /* ... * / }

while(list($key, $val) = each($array)) { /* ... * / }

function myfunction($a = stdClass)

Use is_object() within the function

There is no way to ensure the parameter will be an object.

function myfunction(Object $a)

17.What does the following function do, when passed two integer values for $p and $q? function magic($p, $q) { return ($q == 0) ? $p: magic($q, $p % $q); }

Loops infinitely.

Determines if they are both even or odd?

Determines the greatest common divisor between them.

Calculates the modulus between the two.
