In PHP, objects passed by value.
92) What does accessing a class via :: means?

It is composed of three expressions: a condition, and two operands describing what instruction should be performed when the specified condition is true or false as follows:
Expression_1?Expression_2 : Expression_3;
94) What is the function func_num_args() used for?
The function func_num_args() is used to give the number of parameters passed into a function.

81) What is the difference between session_unregister() and session_unset()?
The session_unregister() function unregister a global variable from the current session and the session_unset() function frees all session variables.

$_FILES is an associative array composed of items sent to the current script via the HTTP POST method.
79) What does $_SERVER mean?
$_SERVER is an array including information created by the web server such as paths, headers, and script locations.
80) What does $GLOBALS mean?
$GLOBALS is associative array including references to all variables which are currently defined in the global scope of the script.
Interview Questions for Fresher Set-7
61) what is the difference between for and foreach?
for is expressed as follows:
for (expr1; expr2; expr3)
statement
The first expression is executed once at the beginning. In each iteration, expr2 is evaluated. If it is TRUE, the loop continues, and the statements inside for are executed. If it evaluates to FALSE, the execution of the loop ends. expr3 is tested at the end of each iteration.
However, foreach provides an easy way to iterate over arrays, and it is only used with arrays and objects.
62) What is the difference between the functions strstr() and stristr()?
The string function strstr(string allString, string occ) returns part of allString from the first occurrence of occ to the end of allString. This function is case-sensitive. stristr() is identical to strstr() except that it is case insensitive.
63) How can we determine whether a variable is set?
The boolean function isset determines if a variable is set and is not NULL.

The boolean function isset determines if a variable is set and is not NULL.
64) How is it possible to parse a configuration file?
The function parse_ini_file() enables us to load in the ini file specified in filename and returns the settings in it in an associative array.
65) What does the expression Exception::__toString means?
Exception::__toString gives the String representation of the exception.
66) what is the difference between Exception::getMessage and Exception:: getLine?
Exception::getMessage lets us getting the Exception message and Exception::getLine lets us getting the line in which the exception occurred.
67) What is the goto statement useful for?
The goto statement can be placed to enable jumping inside the PHP program. The target is pointed by a label followed by a colon, and the instruction is specified as a goto statement followed by the desired target label.
68) How can we determine whether a PHP variable is an instantiated object of a certain class?
To be able to verify whether a PHP variable is an instantiated object of a certain class we use instanceof.
69) What is the differences between $a != $b and $a !== $b?
!= means inequality (TRUE if $a is not equal to $b) and !== means non-identity (TRUE if $a is not identical to $b).
81) What does the array operator '===' means?
$a === $b TRUE if $a and $b have the same key/value pairs in the same order and of the same types.
70) What are the two main string operators?
The first is the concatenation operator ('.'), which returns the concatenation of its right and left arguments. The second is ('.='), which appends the argument on the right to the argument on the left.

Interview Questions for Fresher Set-5
41) Which cryptographic extension provide generation and verification of digital signatures?
The PHP-OpenSSL extension provides several cryptographic operations including generation and verification of digital signatures.
42) What is the most convenient hashing method to be used to hash passwords?
It is preferable to use crypt() which natively supports several hashing algorithms or the function hash() which supports more variants than crypt() rather than using the common hashing algorithms such as md5, sha1 or sha256 because they are conceived to be fast. Hence, hashing passwords with these algorithms can create vulnerability.
43) How is it possible to return a value from a function?
A function returns a value using the instruction 'return $value;'.
44) How can we define a variable accessible in functions of a PHP script?
This feature is possible using the global keyword.
45) what is the static variable in function useful for?
A static variable is defined within a function only the first time, and its value can be modified during function calls as follows:
<!--?php function testFunction() { static $testVariable = 1; echo $testVariable; $testVariable++; } testFunction(); //1 testFunction(); //2 testFunction(); //3 ?-->
46) Is it possible to remove the HTML tags from data?
