You are building a registration form for a website. Users complain that they can submit the form with an empty name field. Which validation technique should you implement to ensure the name field is mandatory?

  • Client-Side JavaScript
  • Server-Side PHP Validation
  • HTML5 Required Attribute
  • Database Constraint (NOT NULL)

You have a complex PHP application where functions require multiple parameters, but not all of them are always provided by the caller. How can you handle such scenarios in your functions?

  • Use Default Arguments
  • Check for NULL Values
  • Use Variable-length Arguments
  • Implement Function Overloading
You can handle such scenarios by using variable-length arguments in your functions. This allows you to accept any number of arguments, and you can process them accordingly within your function.

  • UNION
  • FROM
  • INTERSECT

Consider a scenario where you need to execute a block of code for each element in an array. Which control structure is most suitable for this purpose?

  • for loop
  • if statement
  • switch statement
  • while loop
A 'for' loop is the most suitable control structure for iterating through each element in an array. It allows you to specify the start and end conditions and easily iterate through array elements.
