PHP Developer Interview Questions


PHP Developers are part of the Back-end Developers team, writing code for the server
side of web applications. They develop back-end components, connect applications with
other (often third-party) web services and support the Front-end Developers by
integrating their work.

PHP can be quite tricky, therefore you need candidates with a solid technical background
and excellent coding skills. Use these questions to determine your candidates’ levels of
experience and knowledge and shortlist those who match your specific criteria. You can
include an assignment to compliment your hiring process and better evaluate your
candidates’ skills.

Candidates who are able to demonstrate a strong passion for programming should stand
out. As with all developers roles, it’s important to identify candidates who show a keen
interest in attending seminars or reading relevant books. Don’t hesitate to ask about

you’ll identify candidates who enjoy learning new thing and are driven by curiosity and
creativity.
