You have an array in your PHP script and you need to sort it in ascending order. How would you do this?

  • Use the sort() function.
  • Use the ksort() function.
  • Use the rsort() function.
  • Use the asort() function.
To sort an array in ascending order in PHP, you would use the sort() function. The sort() function rearranges the elements of the array in such a way that the values go from the smallest to the largest. This function modifies the original array directly, changing the order of its elements. Sorting arrays in ascending order is a common operation in PHP, and the sort() function provides a convenient way to organize and rearrange array elements based on their values.

You need to output a large block of HTML code in your PHP script. Which statement would be more suitable, echo or print, and why?

  • echo is more suitable because it does not have a return value.
  • print is more suitable because it returns a value of 1.
  • Both echo and print are equally suitable for this task.
  • It depends on the specific requirements of the script.
Both echo and print can be used to output a large block of HTML code in a PHP script. However, echo is more suitable in this case because it does not have a return value. When outputting HTML code, there is no need for the return value provided by print, which is always 1. Using echo eliminates the unnecessary return value handling, making it slightly faster and more efficient for large outputs.

How can you check if a file exists in PHP?

  • Using the file_exists() function
  • Using the is_file() function
  • Using the file_get_contents() function
  • All of the above
You can check if a file exists in PHP using the file_exists() function. This function returns true if the file exists and false otherwise. It can be used to perform file-related operations and handle conditions based on the existence of files. Learn more: http://php.net/manual/en/function.file-exists.php

Which of the following are types of loops in PHP?

  • for loop, while loop, do-while loop, foreach loop
  • if-else loop, switch loop, elseif loop, default loop
  • echo loop, print loop, case loop, break loop
  • increment loop, decrement loop, multiply loop, divide loop
The types of loops in PHP include the for loop, while loop, do-while loop, and foreach loop. These loops provide different ways to iterate over code blocks and control the flow of execution. The for loop is used when you want to loop through a block of code for a specific number of iterations. The while loop is used when you want to repeat a block of code based on a specific condition. The do-while loop is similar to the while loop, but it guarantees the execution of the code block at least once. The foreach loop is specifically designed for iterating over arrays.

You are using a switch statement in your PHP script and you want to execute the same block of code for multiple cases. How would you do this?

  • Group the case statements without breaks
  • Use multiple default cases
  • Use nested switch statements
  • Use if-else statements instead
To execute the same block of code for multiple cases in a PHP switch statement, you can group the case statements without using break statements. By omitting the break statement after a case block, the execution will continue to the next case without exiting the switch statement. This allows you to handle multiple cases with the same block of code. It is important to note that when grouping case statements, you need to ensure that the execution flows correctly and that unintended fall-through behavior is avoided.

You are writing a PHP script and you need to execute a block of code at least once, and then continue executing it as long as a certain condition is true. How would you do this using a do...while loop?

  • Write the code block and then use the do keyword followed by the while keyword and the condition
  • Write the code block and then use the while keyword followed by the do keyword and the condition
  • Write the code block and then use the while keyword followed by the condition
  • Write the code block and then use the do keyword followed by the condition
To execute a block of code at least once and continue executing it as long as a certain condition is true, you would use a do...while loop. The structure of a do...while loop is to write the code block first, followed by the do keyword, and then the while keyword along with the condition. The code block will always execute at least once before the condition is checked. If the condition is true, the loop will continue executing. If the condition is false, the loop will terminate.

You need to execute a block of code in your PHP script for an unknown number of times, but the block of code needs to be executed at least once even if the condition is false. How would you do this using a do...while loop?

  • Write the code block and then use the do keyword followed by the while keyword and the condition
  • Write the code block and then use the while keyword followed by the do keyword and the condition

The code block will always execute at least once before the condition is checked. If the condition is true, the loop will continue executing. If the condition is false, the loop will terminate. This ensures that the code block is executed at least once regardless of the condition. Learn more: https://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.do.while.php

In PHP, a boolean data type can hold one of two values: ______ or ______.

  • TRUE
  • FALSE
  • 0
  • 1
In PHP, a boolean data type can hold one of two values: true or false. Boolean values are used to represent logical states and are often used in conditional statements or to indicate the success or failure of an operation. The value true represents a true or positive condition, while the value false represents a false or negative condition. Learn more: https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.boolean.php

You can use the $_GET superglobal in PHP to get data sent via the POST method from a form.

  • TRUE
  • FALSE
The statement is false. The $_GET superglobal is specifically used to retrieve data sent via the GET method, not the POST method. To access data sent via the POST method from a form, you would use the $_POST superglobal. The $_GET superglobal retrieves data from the URL's query string, whereas the $_POST superglobal retrieves data sent through an HTML form using the POST method.
