About the PHP test

The PHP test is designed to evaluate a candidate’s proficiency in PHP programming, covering both foundational and advanced concepts for writing efficient and functional code. The test includes essential PHP topics such as variables, arrays, loops, and functions, as well as more complex subjects like object-oriented programming (OOP), error handling, and working with databases. Candidates will be required to demonstrate their ability to interact with databases (e.g., MySQL), executing queries, handling results, and preventing vulnerabilities like SQL injection.

The test also assesses a candidate’s understanding of PHP’s built-in functions, libraries, and frameworks, including tools like cURL, file handling, and regular expressions. Real-world problem-solving scenarios will challenge candidates to write clean, efficient, and maintainable PHP code that follows best practices. Debugging skills will be tested, where candidates will need to identify common issues like syntax errors, logical errors, and performance bottlenecks, and optimize code for improved performance and scalability.

Additionally, candidates will be tested on their knowledge of PHP’s integration with web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and their ability to build dynamic, data-driven web applications. Overall, the test assesses both practical coding abilities and theoretical knowledge required to develop PHP-based applications in a professional setting.
