The && operator in PHP is an example of a ______ operator.

  • Logical
  • Arithmetic
  • Assignment
  • Comparison
The && operator in PHP is an example of a logical operator. It is used for logical AND operations. It checks if both conditions on the left and right sides of the operator are true. If both conditions are true, it returns true; otherwise, it returns false. For example, if ($condition1 && $condition2) { ... } will execute the code inside the if statement only if both $condition1 and $condition2 are true.

Which of the following are ways to include a file in PHP?

  • include() and require()
  • require_once() and include()
  • include_once() and require_once()
  • include() and include_once()
The correct options for including a file in PHP are include() and require(). Both statements allow you to include a file into the current PHP script. require_once() and include_once() also provide similar functionality, but they ensure that the file is included only once to avoid redundancy.

What is the purpose of the assignment operators in PHP?

  • To assign a value to a variable
  • To compare two values
  • To perform mathematical operations on numbers
  • To concatenate strings
The purpose of the assignment operators in PHP is to assign a value to a variable. The most common assignment operator is =, which assigns the value on the right-hand side to the variable on the left-hand side. For example, $num = 10; assigns the value 10 to the variable $num. Assignment operators provide a way to update variable values or initialize them with specific values. Learn more: https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.assignment.php

You have a loop in your PHP script and you want to skip the rest of the current iteration and move on to the next one if a certain condition is met. How would you do this using continue?

  • Use the continue statement to skip the rest of the current iteration and move to the next iteration.
  • Use the break statement to terminate the loop execution.
  • Use the exit statement to stop the script execution.
  • Use the return statement to exit the loop and return a value.
The correct option is: "Use the continue statement to skip the rest of the current iteration and move to the next iteration." The continue statement in PHP is used to skip the remaining code in the current iteration of the loop and move to the next iteration. It allows you to bypass further execution within the current iteration based on a certain condition. Learn more: https://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.continue.php

How can we display information of a variable and readable by a human with PHP?

  • Use the var_dump() function
  • Use the print_r() function
  • Use the info() function
  • Use the show() function
To display information about a variable in a human-readable format with PHP, you can use the print_r() function. The print_r() function is used to print the contents of an array or an object in a human-readable format. It can be useful for debugging or displaying complex data structures. For example, you can use print_r($array); to display the contents of an array. Another option is to use the var_dump() function, which provides more detailed information about a variable, including its type and size.

You need to access several global variables from within a function in your PHP script. How would you do this using the $GLOBALS superglobal?

  • Access each global variable directly using the $GLOBALS array and the variable name as the key. Use multiple statements to retrieve the values of different global variables.
  • Assign the $GLOBALS array to a local variable inside the function and use it to access the global variables. Assign each global variable to a separate local variable.
  • Use the 'extract' function to extract the values of all global variables into local variables inside the function.
  • Use the 'include' statement to include a file that contains the global variables and then access them within the function.
To access multiple global variables from within a function using the $GLOBALS superglobal, you can access each variable directly using the $GLOBALS array and the variable name as the key. You can use multiple statements to retrieve the values of different global variables. Each statement will access a specific global variable.

You are writing a PHP script and you need to define an abstract class. How would you do this?

  • abstract class ClassName
  • final class ClassName
  • static class ClassName
  • var class ClassName
To define an abstract class in PHP, you can use the abstract keyword followed by the class keyword and the name of the class. For example: abstract class ClassName {} The abstract keyword indicates that the class is intended to be an abstract class. Abstract classes cannot be instantiated directly and are meant to be extended by other classes. They can contain abstract methods (without implementation) and non-abstract methods (with implementation). Refer to: http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.abstract.php

Which of the following are true about the case keyword in a PHP switch statement?

  • It represents a possible value for the expression
  • It is used to define the default case
  • It can only be followed by a numeric value
  • It is not required in every case block
The case keyword in a PHP switch statement represents a possible value for the expression. Each case block represents a specific value or condition that is evaluated against the switch expression. When a case value matches the expression, the corresponding block of code is executed. The case keyword allows you to define multiple possible values or conditions to be compared within the switch statement. Each case represents a potential match with the expression.
