1.What output will this code produce ?

<?php 
    class Disney
    {
        public $cartoon;

        function __construct($cartoon)
        {
            $this->cartoon = $cartoon;
        }
    }

    $disney = new Disney("The Beauty and The Beast");
    $waltDisney = $disney;
    $waltDisney->cartoon = "Pinocchio";
    echo $disney->cartoon;

"Pinocchio" because $waltDisney and $Disney are pointing to the same object

"The Beauty and The Beast" because the $cartoon property in the $waltDisney object was changed

NULL because the Disney class was not instanciated inside the $waltDisney variable

2.What is the default value for the "max_execution_time" setting when running PHP as a CLI SAPI ?

Whatever is set as the value for "max_execution_time" in php.ini

0 (Zero) which stands for infinite

3.What happens when the script below is executed ?

  <?php
    namespace CustomArea;
    error_reporting(E_ALL);
    ini_set("display_errors", "on");
    function var_dump($a)
    {
      return str_replace("Weird", $a, "Weird stuff can happen");
    }
    $a = "In programming";
    echo var_dump($a);
  ?>

PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare var_dump()

Weird stuff can happen

In programming stuff can happen

4.Considering the code below ...

  
    <?php 
        
    class AppException extends Exception
    {
      function __toString()
      {
        return "Your code has just thrown an exception: {$this->message}\n";
      }
    }

    class Students
    {
      public $first_name;
      public $last_name;

      public function __construct($first_name, $last_name)
      {
        if(empty($first_name))
        {
          throw new AppException('First Name is required', 1);
        }

        if(empty($last_name))
        {
          throw new AppException('Last Name is required', 2);
        }
      }
    }

    try {
     new Students('', ''); 
    } catch (Exception $e) {
      echo $e;
    }
  

... which of these statements are correct ?

The catch (Exception $e) statement is wrong because it accepts an instance of the Exception class as the parameter. It should use an instance of the AppException class instead.

The __toString() method can't be overwritten in a child class because the methods in the Exception class are all final but for the constructor

The magic __toString() method will be invoked automatically when the code enters the catch() statement and the custom exception message will be printed

5.What is the output of the code below ?

<?php 
  $a = array();
  $a[0] = 1;
  unset($a[0]);
  echo ($a != null) ? 'True' : 'False';

True

False

Parse Error

The special fastcgi_finish_request() function allows PHP to finish request and flush all data while continuing to do various tasks in the background.

7.Considering the following code which of the statements below is true ?

    $human->name = 0;
    $dog->name = "";

($human == $dog)

($human === $dog)

($human->name == $dog->name)

8.What is the best way to store and verify passwords in PHP ?

Using a hashing algorithm like md5 or sha256 and then, when verifying compare the stored hash with the hash of the string submitted by the user

$array_three = array_merge(array_reverse($array_one), $array_two);

$array_three = array_combine($array_one, $array_two);

$array_three = array_combine(array_reverse($array_one), $array_two);

$array_three = array_merge($array_one, $array_two);

$array_three = array_reverse($array_one) + $array_two;
