Looks like there is an error in question 16 you say die is correct, but according to the php manual both exit and die are right :
http://php.net/manual/en/function.exit.php
http://php.net/manual/en/function.die.php

Rajamanickam Antonimuthu said...

cydelic,

Thanks for your comment.
I have corrected the question 16 by changing the first option from "exit" to "break"

Might want to run with warning enabled!
> echo $y[ttt];
$y[ttt], you're trying to access an undefined variable. Luckily, php 5.3 only throws a notice and assumes you mean $y['ttt'], resulting in the answer you specify.

Hittesh said...

got 81% on this test.. not bad i guess,, thanks for the post! :D

mishu said...

the function you are referring to in the 47th question is called chroot and not choot (small typo)..

see http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.chroot.php

Manoj said...

please tell me what is the difference between question 1 and 10's output and what is the logic behind it

Manoj said...

i think that the answer of question 17 is wrong because "echo" is not a function but it is a language construct and it does not need parentheses to contain arguments

Premjith said...

please check that 47 th qustion i think the answer is chroot(). spelling mistake.
good expect more from u..........

Robert Brown said...

Thanks for posting this!

I believe it to be a perfect example of why a quiz like this during a job interview is a complete waste of time.

This test like the many others in job interviews I see doesn't test if you are good coder. At best, it tests if you are good at figuring out horribly written code.

Many of the questions deal with obscure quirks within the PHP language that actually should be avoided in practice.

However this quiz is a spot on example of what some companies wrongly give to a job applicant and for that I am grateful that you have posted it.
