    Which of the following is true about GET & POST methods

    • GET will not show variables in URL of address bar of browser

    • POST variables can not be accessed by $_REQUEST[] Server side array

    • Using POST, you can hide form data from being viewed on address bar or browser

    Correct Answer
    A. Using POST, you can hide form data from being viewed on address bar or browser
    Explanation
    The POST method allows for the submission of form data without displaying it in the address bar or browser. This is useful when dealing with sensitive information that should not be visible to the user or easily accessible. With the GET method, the variables are displayed in the URL of the address bar, making them visible and potentially accessible to anyone who sees the URL. Additionally, the $_REQUEST[] server-side array can access both GET and POST variables, so the statement that POST variables cannot be accessed by $_REQUEST[] is incorrect.

    • Curl_exec()

    • Curl_opt()

    The function curl_init() is used to initialize a CURL session. This function returns a CURL handle, which is then used as the parameter for other CURL functions like curl_setopt() to set various options for the session. Once the session is initialized and options are set, the session can be executed using curl_exec() to perform the desired tasks like making HTTP requests and retrieving data from a remote server. Therefore, curl_init() is the correct function to create a CURL session.

    What will be printed?if ('2' == '02') { echo 'true';} else { echo 'false';}

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given code will print "true". This is because the comparison operator used is the loose equality operator (==), which does not consider the data types of the operands. In this case, both '2' and '02' are considered equal because they have the same characters. Therefore, the condition ('2' == '02') evaluates to true, and the code block inside the if statement is executed, resulting in the output "true".

Once the connection to the MySQL server is established using mysql_connect(), this function is necessary to specify the database that will be accessed for subsequent queries and operations.

However, this is followed by another ternary operator where the condition is false. In this case, the value '2' is assigned to $var. Therefore, the final value of $var is '2'.
