5. 1. In a web application, the client uses a ___ to interact with a web server.

Explanation

A web browser is a software application that allows users to access and view websites on the internet. It acts as a client and enables the user to interact with a web server by sending requests for webpages and receiving responses. The browser interprets the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code of the webpage and displays it to the user. Therefore, a web browser is the correct tool used by the client to interact with a web server. The term "browser" is often used interchangeably with "web browser" in this context.

Submit
6. The ______________________ key of a table uniquely identifies each record in the table.

Explanation

The primary key of a table uniquely identifies each record in the table. It is a column or a combination of columns that ensures that each record in the table has a unique identifier. This key is used to enforce data integrity and to establish relationships between tables in a database.

Submit
7. The ___________________ of a column in a database table determines what type of data can be stored in the column.

Explanation

The data type of a column in a database table determines what type of data can be stored in the column. This means that the column can only accept and store data that is of the specified data type. For example, if the data type of a column is set to "integer", then only whole numbers can be stored in that column. The data type helps to enforce data integrity and ensure that the correct type of data is stored in each column.

9. A __ web page is one that has .html or .htm as its extension.

Explanation

A static web page is a web page that has .html or .htm as its extension. This means that the content of the web page is fixed and does not change dynamically. Static web pages are typically used for displaying information that does not need to be updated frequently, such as company information, product descriptions, or contact details. These pages are easy to create and load quickly, making them suitable for websites with low interactivity requirements.

Submit
10. The most common type of relationship between tables in a relational database is a _____________________ relationship.

Explanation

The most common type of relationship between tables in a relational database is a "one to many" relationship. In this type of relationship, one record in the first table can be associated with multiple records in the second table. This is often represented by a foreign key in the second table that references the primary key in the first table. It is called "one to many" because for every record in the first table, there can be multiple related records in the second table.

Submit
11. You use a SQL _________________ statement to retrieve data from a SQL database.

Explanation

The correct answer is "select". In SQL, the select statement is used to retrieve data from a SQL database. It allows you to specify the columns you want to retrieve and the conditions for filtering the data. The select statement is a fundamental part of querying and retrieving data in SQL.

12. 15. What value will the variable $net_price contain after the code that follows is executed?__   $list_price = 100.00; $discount_percent = 20; $discount_amount = $list_price * $discount_percent * .01; $net_price = $list_price - $discount_amount;

Explanation

The variable $net_price will contain the value 80 after the code is executed. This is because the $discount_amount is calculated by multiplying $list_price by $discount_percent divided by 100. Then, $net_price is calculated by subtracting $discount_amount from $list_price, resulting in 80.

Submit
13. A web application starts when a client sends a/an __ to a server.

Explanation

When a web application starts, it is triggered by a client sending a request to a server. This request can be in the form of a HTTP request, which includes information such as the type of request (GET, POST, etc.), the URL of the desired resource, and any additional data or parameters. The server then processes this request and returns a response, which may include the requested data or perform certain actions based on the request. Therefore, the correct answer is "request".

Submit
14. 5. In a PHP application, dynamic web pages are generated by PHP scripts that are running on the    __.

Explanation

In a PHP application, dynamic web pages are generated by PHP scripts that are running on the web server. The web server is responsible for processing the PHP code and generating the HTML output that is sent to the client's browser. The server is where the PHP scripts are executed and where the necessary resources and data are accessed to generate the dynamic content. Therefore, the correct answer is "web server, server".

Submit

Submit
22. 9. In an arithmetic expression, division is done before multiplication, but you can override that by    using __.

Explanation

In an arithmetic expression, division is typically done before multiplication. However, you can override this order by using parentheses. Parentheses allow you to group certain operations together and indicate that they should be done before any other operations. By placing the multiplication operation within parentheses, you can ensure that it is performed before division, regardless of the default order of operations.

Submit
23. 12. In an if statement, the statements in the else clause are executed if none of the conditions in the if    or __ clauses are true.

Explanation

The correct answer is "else if". In an if statement, the statements in the else clause are executed if none of the conditions in the if or else if clauses are true. The else if clause allows for multiple conditions to be checked sequentially, and if none of them are true, then the statements in the else clause will be executed.

Submit
24. In a simple assignment statement, you code the variable name followed by the __   operator.

Explanation

In a simple assignment statement, the equal sign (=) operator is used to assign a value to a variable.

Submit
25. 13. The condition for a while loop is tested __ the statements in the loop are executed.

Explanation

In a while loop, the condition is checked before the statements in the loop are executed. This means that the condition is evaluated first, and if it is true, then the statements in the loop will be executed. If the condition is false, the loop will not be executed at all. Therefore, the condition acts as a gatekeeper for the loop, determining whether the statements inside the loop will be executed or not.

Submit
26. PhpMyAdmin can be used to import and run a SQL _______________________ that creates one or more databases.

Explanation

phpMyAdmin is a web-based tool used for managing MySQL databases.

Submit
27. 10. When you call a function like the number_format function that returns a value, you usually    __ the result of the function to a variable.

Explanation

When you call a function like the number_format function that returns a value, you usually assign the result of the function to a variable. This means that you store the value returned by the function in a variable so that you can use it later in your code. By assigning the result to a variable, you can manipulate or display the value as needed.

Submit
28. 9. In an HTTP URL, the __ is coded immediately after the protocol but before the    path.

Explanation

In an HTTP URL, the domain name is coded immediately after the protocol but before the path. The domain name represents the address or location of a website on the internet. It is used to identify and locate the specific website that the user wants to access. The domain name is typically followed by a slash (/) which separates it from the path, which refers to the specific page or resource within the website.

Submit
29. 10. If you omit the filename from a URL, the Apache web server displays a list of files and    directories if the specified directory doesn't contain a __ such as index.php.

Explanation

If the filename is omitted from a URL, the Apache web server will display a list of files and directories in the specified directory. However, if the specified directory contains a default file such as index.php, the web server will display that file instead of the list.

Submit

Explanation

In a conditional expression that includes logical operators, the NOT operator has a higher order of precedence than the AND operator.

Submit
31. To control what users can do with a database, SQL can be used to create users and assign _______________________ to them.

Explanation

SQL can be used to create users and assign privileges to them in order to control what they can do with a database. Privileges refer to the specific actions or operations that a user is allowed to perform on the database. By assigning privileges, the database administrator can restrict or grant access to certain functionalities or data within the database, ensuring that users only have the necessary permissions to perform their designated tasks.

Submit
32. 7. To get the data that is submitted with an HTTP GET request, you use PHP to get the data from    the built-in __ array.

Explanation

The correct answer is $_GET. In PHP, to retrieve the data submitted with an HTTP GET request, we use the $_GET superglobal array. This array contains key-value pairs of the data passed in the URL query string. By accessing the values using the corresponding keys, we can retrieve and use the submitted data in our PHP code.

Submit
33. What will the variable $name contain after the code that follows is executed?   $first_name = 'Bob'; $last_name = 'Roberts'; $name = "Name: $first_name";

Explanation

The variable $name will contain the string "Name: Bob" after the code is executed. This is because the variable $name is assigned the value of the string "Name: " concatenated with the value of the variable $first_name, which is "Bob".

Submit
34. You can't add a record to a table with a foreign key unless that foreign key ___________________ the value of a primary key in the related table.

Explanation

In order to add a record to a table with a foreign key, the value of the foreign key must match the value of a primary key in the related table. This ensures referential integrity and maintains the relationship between the two tables. If the foreign key does not match any primary key value in the related table, the record cannot be added as it would create an inconsistent or invalid relationship.

Submit
35. 8. To deploy a PHP application on your own server, you copy or move its __ to    the document root directory of the Apache server.

Explanation

To deploy a PHP application on your own server, you need to copy or move its application files to the document root directory of the Apache server. This is because the document root directory is the location where the Apache server looks for files to serve to clients. By placing the application files in this directory, the server can access and execute the PHP code, allowing the application to run properly.

Submit
36. What does a relational database use to relate the tables in a database to other tables?

Explanation

A relational database uses foreign keys to relate the tables in a database to other tables. Foreign keys are used to establish a connection between two tables by referencing the primary key of one table in another table. This allows for the establishment of relationships and dependencies between different tables in the database, ensuring data integrity and facilitating efficient data retrieval and manipulation operations.

Submit
37. 11. A web application is a type of

Explanation

A web application is a type of client/server application because it involves communication between a client (usually a web browser) and a server. The client sends requests to the server, which processes the requests and sends back the appropriate responses. In the case of a web application, the server typically hosts the application logic and data, while the client (web browser) handles the user interface and displays the application to the user.

Submit
38. If a row in one table is related to just one row in another table, the tables are said to have a

Explanation

A one-to-one relationship between two tables means that each row in one table is related to only one row in the other table. This type of relationship is often used when there is a unique identifier in one table that corresponds to a unique identifier in the other table. It ensures that each record in one table has a direct and exclusive connection to a record in the other table, and vice versa. This type of relationship is commonly used in situations where data needs to be stored in a structured and organized manner.

Submit
39. 15. To deploy a PHP application on your own computer, you copy the application root directory to

Explanation

To deploy a PHP application on your own computer, you need to copy the application root directory to the htdocs directory of the Apache server. This is because the htdocs directory is the default location where Apache looks for web files to serve. By placing the application in this directory, Apache will be able to access and serve the PHP files correctly, allowing the application to run on your computer.

Submit
40. The HTTP response for a dynamic web page is passed

Explanation

When a user requests a dynamic web page, the web server processes the request and generates the appropriate HTML content using server-side technologies like PHP. Once the web server has generated the response, it sends it back to the user's browser. Therefore, the correct answer is "from the web server to the browser."

Submit
41. What does a relational database use to uniquely identify each row in a table?

Explanation

A relational database uses primary keys to uniquely identify each row in a table. Primary keys are unique identifiers assigned to each row and ensure that no two rows have the same value for the primary key column. They are used to establish relationships between tables and maintain data integrity by providing a way to uniquely identify and access specific rows in a table.

Submit
42. 12. When the web server recieves an HTTP request for a PHP page, the web server calls the

Explanation

When a web server receives an HTTP request for a PHP page, it needs to call the PHP interpreter. The PHP interpreter is responsible for processing the PHP code embedded within the requested page. It reads and executes the PHP code, interacts with the database server if necessary, and generates the appropriate HTML content to be sent back to the web server. The web server then delivers the generated HTML content to the web browser for display.

Submit
43. Which of the following can a SELECT statement not do to the data in a table?

Explanation

A SELECT statement is used to retrieve data from a table, but it cannot delete rows from the table. The purpose of a SELECT statement is to fetch data based on specified conditions or criteria, and it does not have the capability to modify or delete the data in the table. Deleting rows from a table requires the use of a DELETE statement, which is a separate SQL command.

Submit
44. 14. Which of the following software components generates the HTML that is returned in an HTTP    response?

Explanation

PHP is a server-side scripting language commonly used for web development. It is responsible for generating dynamic HTML content that is returned in an HTTP response. PHP code is executed on the server, and the resulting HTML is sent to the client's browser for display. Apache is a web server software, MySQL is a database management system, and Firefox is a web browser, none of which are directly involved in generating HTML for an HTTP response.

Submit
45. The column definition for a MySQL table can be used to determine all but one of the following. Which one is it?

Explanation

The column definition for a MySQL table provides information about the data type the column can contain, whether the column can contain a null value, and whether the column has a default value. However, it does not provide information about the range of values the column can contain.
