I have an interview on Tuesday for a PHP job. I've been programming in PHP for about 6 years, but mostly ad-hoc self-built systems, it wasn't until about a year ago that I started to adopt frameworks and get more OOPy. These are familiar concepts from other languages开发者_如何学运维 though. What can I do to brush up and ace my interview?

• Read some php q's on SO?
• Build something? A twitter tool, using the API?
• Get at least an overview on CakePHP/Symfony/Zend (a lot of people seem to be asking about these)

I would start by reading the following question: "What PHP-Specific Questions would You Ask in an Interview?"

Ya Googling for interview questions would be good as well as general searching.. In all honesty though I believe you loose more jobs over being to nervous then lack of knowledge.. My advice is go out for a beer with friends tonight, do some fun stuff for the next few days and just RELAX.

Just my 2 cents

Crack open your old code, and find as much as you can thats wrong with it. Considering how much room PHP gives you to mess things up, you should have no problems pointing out what you could have done better.

Zend administers PHP 5 training and certification, and they do offer practice exams online. They seem to charge $22 for ten practice exams.

Pardon this spam about a non-free suggestion, but it could be a lot quicker and give a more comprehensive set of questions than ad hoc googling for interview questions.
