In PHP, you can define a static method using the static keyword like public static function FunctionName() { ______ }.

  • // method implementation
  • return;
  • // your code here
  • // static method
In PHP, you can define a static method using the static keyword. The syntax for defining a static method is: public static function FunctionName() { // method implementation }. The static keyword is placed before the function name, indicating that it is a static method. You can then provide the implementation of the method inside the function body.

Which cryptographic extension provides generation and verification of digital signatures?

  • The OpenSSL extension provides generation and verification of digital signatures in PHP.
  • The Mcrypt extension provides generation and verification of digital signatures in PHP.
  • The Hash extension provides generation and verification of digital signatures in PHP.
  • The Crypt extension provides generation and verification of digital signatures in PHP.
The OpenSSL extension provides generation and verification of digital signatures in PHP. It offers a wide range of cryptographic functions, including the ability to generate and verify digital signatures. Digital signatures are widely used for data integrity and authentication in secure communication. The OpenSSL extension provides functions such as openssl_sign() and openssl_verify() that allow you to generate and verify digital signatures using different algorithms, such as RSA or DSA. It's important to note that the Mcrypt extension is primarily used for encryption and decryption, and the Hash extension is used for hashing algorithms. The Crypt extension does not provide digital signature functionality.

When is the elseif statement used in PHP?

  • When you need to evaluate multiple conditions sequentially and execute the first block of code that meets the condition
  • When you need to repeat a block of code multiple times
  • When you need to define a function with multiple arguments
  • When you need to concatenate multiple strings
The elseif statement in PHP is used when you need to evaluate multiple conditions sequentially and execute the first block of code that meets the condition. It allows you to provide an alternative set of conditions to be checked after the initial if condition is false. If any of the elseif conditions are met, the corresponding code block will be executed, and the remaining elseif and else conditions will be skipped. This enables you to create a chain of conditional checks and execute different code blocks based on different conditions. Learn more: https://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.elseif.php

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

  • It specifies the code to execute if no case matches the expression
  • It represents a specific case value
  • It is optional in every switch statement
  • It can only be used with strings
The default keyword in a PHP switch statement specifies the code to execute if no case matches the expression. It serves as the default option when none of the case conditions evaluate to true. The default case is optional and is placed at the end of the switch statement. If no case matches the expression, the code block following the default case is executed. The default case allows you to define a fallback action or a default behavior when none of the specific cases are met. Learn more: https://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.switch.php

How can PHP and JavaScript interact?

  • PHP and JavaScript can interact by embedding PHP code within JavaScript code or by making AJAX requests from JavaScript to PHP.
  • PHP and JavaScript cannot directly interact with each other.
  • PHP and JavaScript can interact using the exec() function in PHP to execute JavaScript code.
  • PHP and JavaScript can interact by sharing cookies between the two, allowing data exchange.
PHP and JavaScript can interact in several ways. One common way is by embedding PHP code within JavaScript code using  tags. This allows you to dynamically generate JavaScript code on the server-side using PHP. Another way is by making AJAX requests from JavaScript to PHP, sending data asynchronously and receiving responses. This enables communication between the client-side JavaScript and the server-side PHP. Additionally, cookies can be used to share data between PHP and JavaScript by setting and retrieving cookie values. This allows for data exchange between the two languages.

The while loop in PHP will continue to execute a block of code as long as the ______ is true.

  • condition
  • expression
  • statement
  • function
The while loop in PHP will continue to execute a block of code as long as the condition is true. The condition is a boolean expression that is evaluated before each iteration of the loop. If the condition is true, the code block is executed. If the condition is false, the loop is terminated, and the execution continues with the code following the loop. The condition can be any expression that evaluates to either true or false, determining whether the loop should continue or not. Learn more: https://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.while.php

What is an abstract class in the context of PHP OOP?

  • A class that cannot be instantiated directly
  • A class that can be instantiated directly
  • A class that can only have static methods
  • A class that can only have public properties
In PHP OOP, an abstract class is a class that cannot be instantiated directly. It serves as a blueprint for other classes and provides common functionality and structure that can be inherited by its child classes. An abstract class can have abstract methods, which are declared but not implemented in the abstract class itself. Child classes that inherit from the abstract class must implement the abstract methods. For more details, visit: http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.abstract.php

Once a constant is defined in PHP, it ______ be changed during the execution of the script.

  • Cannot
  • Can
  • Must
  • May
Once a constant is defined in PHP, it cannot be changed during the execution of the script. Constants are intended to store fixed values that remain constant throughout the execution of the script. They are not meant to be modified or redefined once defined. Any attempt to change a constant's value will result in an error. This behavior ensures the integrity and consistency of the constant values throughout the script's execution. Learn more: https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.constants.php

You are writing a PHP script and you need to check if a variable contains a numeric value. How would you do this?

  • is_numeric($variable)
  • is_string($variable)
  • is_integer($variable)
  • is_bool($variable)
To check if a variable contains a numeric value in PHP, you can use the is_numeric() function. The is_numeric() function checks if a variable can be evaluated as a number, whether it is an integer, float, or a numeric string. It returns true if the variable is numeric and false otherwise. This function is useful when you need to validate the numeric nature of a variable. Learn more: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.is-numeric.php

Which of the following are true about comments in PHP?

  • Comments are ignored by the PHP interpreter during script execution
  • Comments can be used to leave notes or explanations for other developers
  • Comments are sent to the client's browser along with the executed PHP code
  • Comments can be used to alter the logic of the PHP code
Comments in PHP are ignored by the PHP interpreter during script execution. They are purely for developers' benefit and are not sent to the client's browser. Comments can be used to leave notes or explanations for other developers. The last option is incorrect because comments do not alter the logic of the PHP code; they only provide additional information or instructions to the developers.
