1.What output will this code produce ?

<?php 
    class Disney
    {
        public $cartoon;

        function __construct($cartoon)
        {
            $this->cartoon = $cartoon;
        }
    }

    $disney = new Disney("The Beauty and The Beast");
    $waltDisney = $disney;
    $waltDisney->cartoon = "Pinocchio";
    echo $disney->cartoon;

"Pinocchio" because $waltDisney and $Disney are pointing to the same object

"The Beauty and The Beast" because the $cartoon property in the $waltDisney object was changed

NULL because the Disney class was not instanciated inside the $waltDisney variable

2.What happens when you run the following MySQL Query ?

  
  CREATE TABLE PRIMARY (ID int);
  

Syntax Error - PRIMARY is reserved in MySQL and should be quoted to be used as a table name

Syntax Error - PRIMARY is reserved in MySQL and can not be used as a table name

A table called PRIMARY containing a column called ID is created

3.What happens when the code below is executed ?

  <?php
    class foo
    {
      private $variable;

      function __construct()
      {
        $this->variable = 1;
      }

      function __get($name)
      {
        return $this->$name;
      }
    }
    $a = new foo;
    echo $a->variable;
  ?>

The script outputs 1

Fatal error: Cannot access private property foo::$variable

The script outputs 0

4.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

5.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

6.Considering the following code which of the statements below is true ?

    class entity {
        public $name;
    }
    $human = new entity();
    $dog = new entity();
    $human->name = 0;
    $dog->name = "";

($human == $dog)

($human === $dog)

($human->name == $dog->name)

7.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.

8.How does Opcode Cache improve performance in PHP 5.5+ ?

Opcode Cache stores objects in memory so that they can be accessed directly by other processes.

Opcode Cache stores database query results thus eliminating the need of executing those queries again

OPcache stores precompiled script bytecode in memory, thus removing the need to load and parse scripts on each request.

9.What happens if you execute the code below ?

<?php
    class someclass
    {
        public $someprop;
        
        function __construct()
        {
            $this->someprop = 1;
        }
    }

    function somefunc(&$instance) {
        unset($instance);
    }

    $instance = new someclass;
    somefunc($instance);
    var_dump($instance);

NULL

object(someclass)#1 (1) { ["someprop"]=> int(1) }

Warning (Only variables can be passed by refence) NULL

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");

d

c

b

a

They all will be displayed

11.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)) { /* ... * / }

12.What is the output of the following PHP script? $a = 1; $b = 2.5; $c = 0xFF; $d = $b + $c; $e = $d * $b; $f = ($d + $e) % $a; print ($f + $e);

13.Given a PHP value, which sample shows how to convert the value to JSON?

$value = (object) $value; $string = $value->__toJson();

14.Which one of the following XML declarations is NOT valid?

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<?xml version="1.1" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<?xml standalone="no" ?>

<?xml standalone="1" ?>

15.Consider the following table data and PHP code. What is the outcome? Table data (table name "users" with primary key "id"): id name email ------- ----------- ------------------- 1 anna [email protected] 2 betty [email protected] 3 clara [email protected] 5 sue [email protected] PHP code (assume the PDO connection is correctly established): $dsn = 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=exam'; $user = 'username'; $pass = '********'; $pdo = new PDO($dsn, $user, $pass); $cmd = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = :id"; $stmt = $pdo->prepare($cmd); $id = 3; $stmt->bindParam('id', $id); $stmt->execute(); $stmt->bindColumn(3, $result); $row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_BOUND);

The database will return no rows.

The value of $row will be an array.

The value of $result will be empty.

The value of $result will be '[email protected]'.

16.What is the best way to ensure that a user-defined function is always passed an object as its single parameter?

function myfunction(stdClass $a)

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 would you replace ??????? with, below, to make the string Hello, World! be displayed? function myfunction() { /* ??????? */ print $string; } myfunction("Hello, World!");

There is no way to do this.

$string = $argv[1];

$string = $_ARGV[0];

list($string) = func_get_args();

$string = get_function_args();

if($obj1->equals($obj2))

if($obj1 instanceof $obj2)

if($obj1 === $obj2)

20.How can you modify the copy of an object during a clone operation?

Put the logic in the object's constructor to alter the values

Implment your own function to do object copying

Implement the object's __clone() method

Implement __get() and __set() methods with the correct logic

Implement the __copy() method with the correct logic

a: 30, b: 30

a: 30, b: 20
