Both of these are for PHP4 (though I never actually used PHP4) - so no good now - unless you use PHP4 of course. There is a PHP 5 Study Guide (http://www.phparch.com/books/phparchitects-zend-php-5-certification-study-guide-2nd-edition/) I have the first edition, so a little out of date now but I do get a free PDF of the 2nd edition.

My beefs are 1) they're not "open book", and I code with a tab open to php.net all the time. (Who remembers which parameter comes first on which function call: needle or haystack?) 2) They never tell you *what* you got wrong. That's not very helpful. Mind you, these aren't "free" tests like you're probably talking about. They are through a vendor whom the recruiter probably pays to administer the test. Incidentally, despite having written an awful lot of working PHP code, I don't do well on those tests. Helps my confidence a lot, as you can imagine. Paul -- Paul M.

[PHP] Any free online tests to test my PHP knowledge?
Does anyone know of a site that has an online test of PHP skills? I'd like to review my PHP knowledge.
