    Interesting test, doesn't cover SQL injection though which I would certainly cover. I guess that test's a good way to test their ability to determine their familiarity with how PHP treats variables and not much else. Commented Nov 9, 2011 at 23:28

    Whatever you do, don't ask questions regarding the spelling of standard function names. PHP function naming is so inconsistent. Commented Nov 9, 2011 at 23:55

    I would worry less about their PHP chops and more if they can program, work with the team, understand web security, etc. Commented Nov 10, 2011 at 1:14

    If nobody of your company knows PHP well, then the best way for you is to use some skills testing service. http://tests4geeks.com/test/php-mysql - I like this one. And then, if the result will be good, you can ask him to write some PHP code. For example, there are students and subjects in database. Ask him to write the HTML-form, where the director edits the marks in the table (Students are in left column, Subjects are in top row, Marks are at the intersection). Commented Apr 15, 2013 at 10:56
