About the test

This PHP test is meticulously designed to assess the advanced programming capabilities of candidates aspiring to roles that require expertise in PHP. With a focus on a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical proficiency, the test comprises 40 challenging questions that cover a wide spectrum of PHP domains, including but not limited to object-oriented programming, security, database interactions, and PHP 7+ features. Each question has been carefully crafted to gauge the depth of understanding and the ability to apply PHP in solving complex programming challenges efficiently. The questions vary in complexity, testing not only the memorization of PHP functions and syntax but also the application of PHP in real-world scenarios. Approximately 20% of the questions have been structured to have two correct answers, introducing a nuanced layer of complexity and simulating the ambiguity often encountered in programming. This test serves as an excellent tool for employers to identify candidates with a strong foundation in PHP and the ability to leverage that knowledge to develop robust, secure, and scalable applications.
