Here’s a list of things that you should know for doing the test:

• PHP INI security config (memorize pretty much everything on this file i.e. what directive disable to not allow include files)
• Streams (and I not talking about open, writing, reading and closing a text document. i.e. $data[’buf’] = mygethosts($host,$port)
• XML methods from php5 (DOM, SAX, XPATH, SIMPLEXMLOBJECT)
• Differences from PHP5 and 4
• Arrays
• Strings (include regex)
• Functions (i.e. exec on function and show the result)
• Web Services (i.e. how to get the username and password from the headers -> http_get_username() and http_get_password() )
• Design (what’s the difference between include and require or difference between echo and print)
• Patterns (Singleton, MVC…)
• Database (and forget about mysql server, has to be MySqlLi functions)
• PDO - Portable Data Object
• OOP (that’s really the only easy one, but you guys are going to find some stuff like: how to access a obj in php5 in the same way as an array)
• Security (i.e. how to avoid a cross scripting attack)

The test is 70 questions that you have 90 minutes to answer. You can go fwd and back to one question until the end of the test. If you do not answer one, it will count as incorrect.

The questions are divided on essay, multiple choice and multiple selection.
