PHP 7 Features :
1. Zend Engine: PHP 7
is using zend engine 3.0. We call it as PHPNG.
It is
increase the performance of the application.
2. Return Type: Able to declare a return type for their function.
In
PHP 7 where you will be able to declare what type of value will be
returned.
Eg. :
public function area (float $r)
: float
{
return
3.14*$r*$r;
}
3.Spaceship Operator:
The new
operator spaceship operator introduced in php 7
Ex : PHP with <7
function sort ($a,$b)
{ if ($a>$b)
return
1;
else
if ( $a ==$b)
return
0;
else
return -1;
}
PHP >7
function sort ($a,$b)
{
return $a
< = > $b;
}
The coalesce operator (??)
returns result of its first operand if it exists, or null if it doesn’t.
Eg.
:
PHP<7:
if
(isset ($_GET [‘name’]))
{
$name
= $_GET [‘name’];
}
else
$name
= null;
In PHP>7:
$name = $_GET
[‘name’]?? Null;
Unicode codepoint as below :
echo
“\u{202E} Reverse “; // This outputs : esreveR
6.Deprecation of mysql_* functions:
PHP 7 has deprecated all mysql_* functions, now developers have to use mysqli
(the intelligent version of MySQL) instead.
7.Constant Arrays Using define():
In
PHP 7, you can also define the array as a constant by using define.
Example:
define('NAME', array('Chandar','Ram','Gugu'));
echo NAME[1]; // outputs "Chandar"
8.Group use declarations:
Classes, functions and constants being
imported from the same namespace can now be grouped together in a single use
statement.
Example: // Pre
PHP 7 code
use
some\namespace\ClassA;
use
some\namespace\ClassB;
use
some\namespace\ClassC as C;
// PHP 7+ code
use
some\namespace\{ClassA, ClassB, ClassC as C};
9.Integer division with intdiv():
The new intdiv()
function performs an integer division of its operands and returns it.
Example:
var_dump(intdiv(10, 3));
The above example will output: int(3)
Cons:
If anyone has functions like “ereg” and “mysql”
buried deep inside their code base, they are gonna strike a Backward
Compatibility wall as these functions are deprecated and, it is going to be a
real pain in the behind to upgrade.
Interview Questions :
http://codeigniterhelp.blogspot.in/p/interview-questions100.html
1. What is the output of the following code:
$a = '1';
$b = &$a;
$b =
"2$b";
echo $a.", ".$b;
ANS : 21, 21
2.What is the use of
header() function in php ?
ANS: The header()
function sends a raw HTTP header to a client browser. Remember that this
function must be called before sending the actual out put.For example, You do
not print any HTML element before using this function.
3.what is sql injection ?
ANS : SQL injection
is a malicious code injection technique.It exploiting SQL vulnerabilities in
Web applications
4.What is the difference between explode() and
split() functions?
ANS : Split function
splits string into array by regular expression. Explode splits a string into
array by string.
5.How do I escape data before storing it into the database?
ANS : addslashes
function enables us to escape data before storage into the database.
$str = "Is your name
O'Reilly?";
// Outputs: Is your name O\'Reilly?
echo addslashes($str);
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
$string="O'Reilly";
$ser=serialize($string); # safe -- won't count the slash
echo $ser;
echo " <br/>".$result=addslashes($ser);
6.How is it possible to remove escape characters from a string?
ANS : The stripslashes function enables us to remove the escape
characters before apostrophes in a string.
7.Is it
possible to remove the HTML tags from data?
ANS : The strip_tags() function enables us to clean a string from the HTML
tags.
8.What
does accessing a class via :: means?
ANS : '::' is used to access static methods
that do not require object initialization.
9.In PHP,
objects are they passed by value or by reference?
ANS : In PHP, objects passed by value.
10.Are
Parent constructors called implicitly inside a class constructor?
ANS: No, a parent constructor have to be called explicitly as follows:
parent::constructor($value)
11.What
is faster?
ANS: 1- Combining two variables as follows:
$variable1 = ‘Hello ‘;
$variable2 = ‘World’;
$variable3 = $variable1.$variable2;
Or
2- $variable3 = “$variable1$variable2”;
$variable3 will
contain “Hello World”. The first code is faster than the second code especially
for large large sets of data.
12.How Many Types of Cookies in php ?
There are 2 types of
cookies: (1) Session Based which expire at the end of the session.
(2)
Persistent cookies which are written on harddisk.
Session cookies expire at the end of the
session. This means,
when
you close your browser window, the session cookie is deleted. This
website
only uses session cookies.
A
session cookie may be created when you visit a site or portion of a site. The
cookie exists
for
the duration of your visit. For example, a session cookie is created when you
use the
Personal
Login to access secured pages. Depending on the settings in your browser, you
may
have the option to deny the session cookie; however, if you deny the cookie you
may
have
trouble using the site which relies on that cookie.
PHP
provided setcookie() function to set a cookie. This function requires
upto six arguments
and
should be called before <html>
tag.
For each cookie this function has to be called separately.
setcookie("name", "John
Watkin", time()+3600, "/","", 0);
setcookie("age", "36",
time()+3600, "/", "",
0);
?>
Here
is the detail of all the arguments:
·
Name -
This sets the name of the cookie and is stored in
·
an environment variable called HTTP_COOKIE_VARS.
This variable is used
·
while accessing cookies.
·
Value -This
sets the value of the named variable and is the content that you actually
·
want to store.
·
Expiry - This specify a future time in seconds since
·
00:00:00 GMT on 1st Jan 1970. After this time
cookie will become
·
inaccessible. If this parameter is not set then
cookie will
·
automatically expire when the Web Browser is
closed.
·
Path -This
specifies the directories for which the cookie
·
is valid. A single forward slash character permits
the cookie to be
·
valid for all directories.
·
Domain -
This can be used to specify the domain name in
·
very large domains and must contain at least two periods
to be valid.
·
All cookies are only valid for the host and domain
which created them.
·
Security - This can be set to 1 to specify that the
·
cookie should only be sent by secure transmission
using HTTPS otherwise
·
set to 0 which mean cookie can be sent by regular
HTTP.
ANS: Sessions automatically ends when the PHP script finishs executing,
but can be manually ended using the session_write_close().
14.What
is the difference between session_unregister() and session_unset()?
ANS: The session_unregister() function unregister a global variable
from the current session and the session_unset() function free all session
variables.
15.What does $GLOBALS means?
ANS: $GLOBALS is associative array including references to all
variables which are currently defined in the global scope of the script.
EX :
$a = 1; $b = 2;
function Sum()
{
$GLOBALS['b'] = $GLOBALS['a'] + $GLOBALS['b'];
}
Sum();
echo $b;
16.what is the difference between $_ENV,$_SESSION and $_COOKIE?
ANS : All three
are superglobal, that means any script in your application can access it, BUT
while $_SESSION and $_COOKIE are different (and private) for each user, the
$_ENV super global is not specific to a user. The difference between $_SESSION
and $_COOKIE is that $_ENV can live beyond the current user visit, while the
session will end when the user leave your site (or close his browser). $_ENV
contains environment variables, mainly containing information about your
server, paths, etc
17.what is htaccess? why do we use this and where ?
ANS : htaccess files are configuration files of
Apache Server that provide a way to make configuration changes on a
per-directory basis. A file, containing one or more configuration directives,
is placed in a particular
18.What is the difference between "echo" and "print"
in PHP?
ANS : Echo can output one
or more string but print can only output one string and always
returns 1.
Echo is faster than print
because it does not return any value
19.PHP Data Types?
ANS: PHP data types are used to hold different types of data or values.
PHP supports 8 primitive data types that can be categorized further in 3 types:
1.
Scalar
Types
2.
Compound
Types
3.
Special Types
PHP Data Types:
Scalar Types
There are 4 scalar
data types in PHP.
1.
boolean
2.
integer
3.
float
4.
string
PHP Data Types:
Compound Types
There are 2
compound data types in PHP.
1.
array
2.
object
PHP Data Types:
Special Types
There are 2 special
data types in PHP.
1.
resource
2.
NULL
20.How many types of array are there in PHP?
There
are three types of array in PHP:
· Indexed array
· Associative array
· Multidimensional array
21.Difference between array_merge and array_combine
in php?
ANS : $array1 = array('one','two');
$array2 = array(1,2);
$result=array_merge($array1,$array2);
print_r($result);
Array
( [0] => one [1] => two [2] => 1 [3] => 2 )
$result =
array_combine($array1,$array2);
print_r($result);
Array
( [one] => 1 [two] => 2 )
22.What is array_search() in php?
ANS : array_search —
Searches the array for a given value and returns the first corresponding key if
successful.
$key = array_search('green', $array); // $key = 2;
23.What
is substr() in php ?
$rest = substr("abcdef", 0,
-1); //
returns "abcde"
$rest = substr("abcdef", 2,
-1); //
returns "cde"
$rest = substr("abcdef", 4,
-4); //
returns false
$rest = substr("abcdef",
-3, -1); //
returns "de"
echo substr('abcdef', 1);
// bcdef
echo substr('abcdef', 1, 3);
// bcd
echo substr('abcdef', 0, 4);
// abcd
echo substr('abcdef', 0, 8);
// abcdef
echo substr('abcdef',
-1, 1); //
f
24. What
is a Session ?
ANS : A session is a
logical object created by the PHP engine to allow you to preserve data across
subsequent HTTP requests. Sessions are commonly used to store temporary
data to allow multiple PHP pages to offer a complete functional transaction for
the same visitor.
23. Cookies Vs. Sessions :
· Cookies
are small files that are stored in the visitor's browser.
· Cookies
can have a long lifespan, lasting months or even years.
· Cookies are limited in size depending on
each browser's default settings.
· Cookies can be disabled if the visitor's
browser does not allow them (uncommon).
· Cookies can be edited by the visitor.
(Do not use cookies to store sensitive data.)
Sessions :
· Sessions
are small files that are stored on the website's server.
· Sessions
have a limited lifespan; they expire when the browser is closed.
· Sessions
are only limited in size if you limit their size on the server.
· Sessions
cannot be disabled by the visitor because they are not stored in the browser.
· Sessions cannot be edited by the visitor.
session.save_path = "c:/wamp/tmp"
in server system
23. What is faster?
1- Combining two variables as follows:
$variable1 = ‘Hello ‘;
$variable2 = ‘World’; $variable3 =
$variable1.$variable2;
(Or)
2- $variable3 = “$variable1$variable2”;
ANS: :
$variable3 will contain “Hello World”. The first code
is faster than the second code especially for large
large sets of data.
24.What
is the difference between session_unregister() and session_unset()?ANS : The session_unregister()
function unregister a global variable from the current session and the
session_unset() function free all session variables.
25.Difference between mysql_connect and
mysql_pconnect?
ANS: There is a good page in the
php manual on the subject, in short mysql_pconnect() makes a persistent
connection to the database which means a
SQL link that do not close when the execution of your script ends.
mysql_connect()provides only for the database new connection while using
mysql_pconnect , the function would first try to find a (persistent) link that's
already open with the same host, username and password. If one is found, an
identifier for it will be returned instead of opening a new connection... the
connection to the SQL server will not be closed when the execution of the
script ends. Instead, the link will remain open for future use.
26. What
is ob_start() in php?
ANS: The PHP output buffering will save all the server outputs ( html
and php prints) to a string variable. So to start buffering, use ob_start();
this will keep saved any output. Then you use $variable = ob_get_clean(); to
stop buffering, and copy the buffer content to the variable.
27.Heredoc vs Nowdoc in PHP
ANS :
1.Nowdocs
are to single-quoted strings what heredocs are to double-quoted strings.
2. Parsing is done inside is done in Heredoc but while coming to
nowdoc no parsing is done inside.
3. The construct is ideal for embedding PHP code or other large blocks of text
without the need for escaping.
ex: $foo = 'bar';
$here = <<<HERE
I'm here, $foo!
HERE;
$now =
<<<'NOW'
I'm now, $foo!
NOW;
Ans : $here is "I'm
here, bar!", while $now is "I'm now, $foo!".
ANS :
PHP strings can be specified not just
in two ways, but in four ways.
PHP strings can be specified not just
in two ways, but in four ways.
1. Single quoted strings will display
things almost completely "as is." Variables and most escape sequences
will not be interpreted. The exception is that to display a literal single
quote, you can escape it with a back slash \',
and to display a back slash, you can escape it with another backslash \\ (So yes, even single quoted
strings are parsed).
2. Double quote strings will display a host
of escaped characters (including some regexes), and variables in the strings
will be evaluated. An important point here is that you can use curly
braces to isolate the name of the variable you want evaluated. For example
let's say you have the variable $type and
you what to echo "The $types
are" That will look for the variable $types. To get around this use echo "The {$type}s are" You
can put the left brace before or after the dollar sign. Take a look at string parsing to see how to use array
variables and such.
3. Heredoc string syntax works like double
quoted strings. It starts with <<<.
After this operator, an identifier is provided, then a newline. The string
itself follows, and then the same identifier again to close the quotation. You
don't need to escape quotes in this syntax.
4. Nowdoc (since PHP 5.3.0) string syntax
works essentially like single quoted strings. The difference is that not even
single quotes or backslashes have to be escaped. A nowdoc is identified with
the same <<< sequence
used for heredocs, but the identifier which follows is enclosed in single
quotes, e.g. <<<'EOT'. No
parsing is done in nowdoc.
29. Any five array functions .
array_change_key_case($age,CASE_UPPER)
The array_change_key_case()
function changes all keys in an array to lowercase or uppercase.
array_column() -- Returns the
values from a single column in the input array
array_count_values() -- Count
all the values of an array
ex : $a=array("A","Cat","Dog","A","Dog");
print_r(array_count_values($a));
out put -- Array ( [A] => 2 [Cat] => 1 [Dog] => 2 )
array_combine()
-- Creates an array by using the
elements from one "keys" array and one "values" array array_diff() -- Compare arrays, and returns the differences (compare
values only)
array_search() -- Searches an array for a given value and returns the
keyarray_unique() -- Removes duplicate values from an array
array_values() -- Returns all the values of an array
array_walk() -- Applies a user function to every member of an array
array_walk_recursive()
-- Applies a user function recursively
to every member of an array (multi dimensional array)
30. What is __set() and __get() methods in PHP?
ANS :
By default PHP is a
Loosely typed language and therefore it is not necessary to declare variables
before using them. This also holds true for using class members. Look at an
example below.
<?php
class Customer {
public $name;
}
$c = new Customer();
$c->name = “Sunil”; // $name is set because its public
$c->email = “email@domain.com”;
//assigning email@domain.com to the $email variable.
?>
Ideally in a strict language this would have been an error. But,
with PHP this works perfectly well as you can assign values to
an undefined variable.
Because of the above limitation, PHP engine provides
two magic methods __get() and __set(). __get() is
used when value from an undefined variable is to be read and __set() is
used when a value is to be assigned to a undefined variable of a class
__set() allows you to provide functionality to validate data being
stored. See example below
<?php
class Customer {
public $name;
private $data = array();
public function __set($dt, $vl) {
$this->data[$dt] = $vl;
}
public function __get($dt) {
return $this->data[$dt];
}
}
$c = new Customer();
$c->name = “Sunil”; // $name is set because its public
$c->email = “email@domain.com”;
//assigning email@domain.com to the $email variable.
echo $c->email;
?>

31. What is default session name in php ?
ANS : PHPSESSID
EXP: session_start();
echo "<b>Session name using get:</b>", session_name();
32. What is output for below program.?
$a=5;
echo "<br/>";
echo $a;
echo "<br/>";
echo $a+++$a++;
echo "<br/>";
echo $a;
echo "<br/>";
echo $a---$a--;
echo "<br/>";
echo $a;
ANS :
5
11
7
1
5
32. Write program for String Reverse with out
using string functions?
Ans:
$string = 'zeeshan';
$reverse = '';
$i = 0;
while(!empty($string[$i])){
$reverse = $string[$i].$reverse;
$i++;
}
echo $reverse;
//outputnahseez
