How can you display an error message if a required field is left empty in a PHP form?

  • Check if the required field value is empty in PHP and display an error message accordingly.
  • Use JavaScript to validate the form and display an alert message.
  • Redirect the user to an error page indicating the missing field.
  • Use CSS to change the background color of the empty field.
To display an error message if a required field is left empty in a PHP form, you can check if the required field value is empty in PHP. If the value is empty, you can generate an error message and display it to the user. This can be done by adding a conditional statement in your PHP code to check the value of the required field. If it is empty, you can assign an error message to a variable and then echo or display the error message in the appropriate location on the form page. The error message can be styled using CSS to make it more noticeable to the user. Learn more: https://www.php.net/manual/en/tutorial.forms.php

You have a PHP script and you need to call a user-defined function using a string variable. How would you do this?

  • Use the call_user_func() or call_user_func_array() functions
  • Use the execute_function() or execute_user_func() functions
  • Use the invoke_function() or invoke_user_func() functions
  • Use the run_function() or run_user_func() functions
In PHP, to call a user-defined function using a string variable, you can use the call_user_func() or call_user_func_array() functions. These functions allow you to invoke a callback function specified by a string name. The other mentioned options (execute_function(), execute_user_func(), invoke_function(), invoke_user_func(), run_function(), run_user_func()) are not valid PHP functions. For further information, consult the PHP documentation on call_user_func(): http://php.net/manual/en/function.call-user-func.php and call_user_func_array(): http://php.net/manual/en/function.call-user-func-array.php

What function do you use in PHP to start output buffering?

  • ob_start()
  • ob_flush()
  • ob_get_contents()
  • All of the above
In PHP, you can start output buffering using the ob_start() function. This function enables output buffering, capturing the output generated by PHP scripts and storing it in an internal buffer instead of immediately sending it to the client's browser. This provides the ability to manipulate the output, modify headers, and perform other operations before sending the final output to the browser. Using ob_start() is particularly useful when you need to conditionally modify or discard the output based on certain conditions or when you want to capture the output for further processing.
