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.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.

4.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.

5.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)

6.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.

7.What is the best way to store and verify passwords in PHP ?

Using a hashing algorithm like md5 or sha256 and then, when verifying compare the stored hash with the hash of the string submitted by the user

Using the built in password_create() and password_verify() functions in PHP

Using the strongest to date hashing algorithm combined with a salt to avoid dictionary attacks.

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.How do you access standard I/O and error streams ?

Use stdin(), stdout() and stderr() functions

PHP::STDIN, PHP::STDOUT and PHP::STDERR class constants

Use PHP::stdin(), PHP::stdout() and PHP::stderr() class functions

STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR constants

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

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

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

d

c

b

a

They all will be displayed

14.What should go in the missing line ????? below to produce the output shown? $array_one = array(1,2,3,4,5); $array_two = array('A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E'); ??????? print_r($array_three); Result: Array ( [5] => A [4] => B [3] => C [2] => D [1] => E )

$array_three = array_merge(array_reverse($array_one), $array_two);

$array_three = array_combine($array_one, $array_two);

$array_three = array_combine(array_reverse($array_one), $array_two);

$array_three = array_merge($array_one, $array_two);

$array_three = array_reverse($array_one) + $array_two;

15.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?

array_total_values

array_count_values

A foreach loop

count

a for loop

16.The following code snippet displays what for the resultant array? $a = array(1 => 0, 3 => 2, 4 => 6); $b = array(3 => 1, 4 => 3, 6 => 4); print_r(array_intersect($a, $b));

1 => 0

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

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

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

quit();

die();

stop();

__halt_compiler();

exit();

20.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();

STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR constants

Use stdin(), stdout() and stderr() functions

PHP::STDIN, PHP::STDOUT and PHP::STDERR class constants
