I passed the PHP thingy
Today I went for the Zend PHP 5 Certification and passed. Uzyn did it an hour half earlier and he passed too. I slept so little this morning just so I can read this PHP exam study guide. And before I enter the test all I can claim is that I finished the book.
Before we took this PHP 5 cert exam, there was one other guy who did it in this center. I reach there on time:
Me: Afternoon, I have a test at 3 for PHP.
Front desk: PHP?
Me: Exam 200-500.
FD: You taking CCNA?
Me: Nah… The one by Zend.
I tell you she was absolutely clueless. I almost fell asleep doing the questions. I found myself sinking lower and lower into my seat. There was no one in the room, just me and seventy questions.
I probably can’t discuss the PHP exam questions but let’s just say the questions are kinda strange. It’s just not what you would expect. I expected the test to be more about explaining the code kinda thing but that almost didn’t appear at all. CCNA questions are a lot better and open internet (open book) too.
I finished the 70 questions and thinking I would fail. I clicked on the End Exam button, closed my eyes and all that my mind could think about is this red-colored ‘Fail’ word to be displayed.
It didn’t.

The certificate would come next month. Congrats to Uzyn!
Listed on PHP Yellow Pages already, that was fast!

Congrats to you too!
The test is badly structured. All you need is a good memory. Of course some experience in PHP (especially in setting up) would help too.
What’s CCNA?

CCNA is Cisco Certified Network Associate.
I have almost no experience in setting PHP up. I kinda based the answers on intuition and the art of elimination. Some answers just don’t sound right!
