The PHP online test assesses knowledge of programming in the PHP language through a series of live coding questions.
The assessment includes work-sample tasks such as:
- Serializing to/from JSON to handle web requests.
- Using OOP principles in PHP.
- Working with associative arrays and using common built-in functions.
A good PHP developer needs a solid understanding of the PHP programming language and its specifics, OOP principles, and the ability to take advantage of its rich set of built-in functions.
Sample public questions
As part of a data processing pipeline, complete the implementation of the make_pipeline method:
- The make_pipeline method should accept a variable number of functions, and it should return a new function that accepts one parameter $arg.
- The returned function should call the first function in make_pipeline with the parameter $arg, and call the second function with the result of the first function.
- The returned function should continue calling each function in make_pipeline in order, following the same pattern, and return the value from the last function.
For example, calling make_pipeline(function($x) { return $x * 3; }, function($x) { return $x + 1; }, function($x) { return $x / 2; }), and then calling the returned function with 3 should return 5.
Implement the function findRoots to find the roots of the quadratic equation: ax2 + bx + c = 0. The function should return an array containing both roots in any order. If the equation has only one solution, the function should return that solution as both elements of the array. The equation will always have at least one solution.
The roots of the quadratic equation can be found with the following formula:
For example, findRoots(2, 10, 8) should return [-1, -4] or [-4, -1] as the roots of the equation 2x2 + 10x + 8 = 0 are -1 and -4.

What others say
Simple, straight-forward technical testing
TestDome is simple, provides a reasonable (though not extensive) battery of tests to choose from, and doesn't take the candidate an inordinate amount of time. It also simulates working pressure with the time limits.
