PHP Developer interview questions: the 8 to ask
A PHP developer builds and maintains web applications, often with Symfony or Laravel.
- 1.Which PHP 8 features do you use every day?
- 2.How does the Symfony service container work?
- 3.How do you prevent SQL injection and XSS?
- 4.How do you test a controller?
- 5.How do you speed up a slow page?
- 6.Doctrine or Eloquent: pros and cons?
- 7.How do you handle async jobs (Messenger, queues)?
- 8.How would you approach refactoring old PHP 5 code?
Tip: for every answer, ask for a concrete example (situation, action, result). An answer without an example is worth half.
