  3. How to include a file to a php page?
    We can include a file using "include() " or "require()" function with file path as its parameter.
  4. What's the difference between include and require?
    If the file is not found by require(), it will cause a fatal error and halt the execution of the script. If the file is not found by include(), a warning will be issued, but execution will continue.
  5. require_once(), require(), include().What is difference between them?
    require() includes and evaluates a specific file, while require_once() does that only if it has not been included before (on the same page). So, require_once() is recommended to use when you want to include a file where you have a lot of functions for example. This way you make sure you don't include the file more times and you will not get the "function re-declared" error.

  11. What’s the difference between include and require?
    It’s how they handle failures. If the file is not found by require(), it will cause a fatal error and halt the execution of the script. If the file is not found by include(), a warning will be issued, but execution will continue.
  12. What is the difference between Session and Cookie?
    The main difference between sessions and cookies is that sessions are stored on the server, and cookies are stored on the user’s computers in the text file format. Cookies can not hold multiple variables,But Session can hold multiple variables.We can set expiry for a cookie,The session only remains active as long as the browser is open.Users do not have access to the data you stored in Session,Since it is stored in the server.Session is mainly used for login/logout purpose while cookies using for user activity tracking

  53. What are the different types of errors in PHP ?
    Here are three basic types of runtime errors in PHP:
    • 1. Notices: These are trivial, non-critical errors that PHP encounters while executing a script - for example, accessing a variable that has not yet been defined. By default, such errors are not displayed to the user at all - although you can change this default behavior.
    • 2. Warnings: These are more serious errors - for example, attempting to include() a file which does not exist. By default, these errors are displayed to the user, but they do not result in script termination.
    • 3. Fatal errors: These are critical errors - for example, instantiating an object of a non-existent class, or calling a non-existent function. These errors cause the immediate termination of the script, and PHP's default behavior is to display them to the user when they take place.

The Core Components include the base classes of PEAR and PEAR_Error, along with database, HTTP, logging, and e-mailing functions. The PEAR Packages include functionality providing for authentication, networking, and file system features, as well as tools for working with XML and HTML templates.
  58. Distinguish between urlencode and urldecode?
    This method is best when encode a string to used in a query part of a url. it returns a string in which all non-alphanumeric characters except -_. have replece with a percentege(%) sign . the urldecode->Decodes url to encode string as any %and other symbole are decode by the use of the urldecode() function.
  59. What are the different errors in PHP?
    In PHP, there are three types of runtime errors, they are:
    Warnings:
    These are important errors. Example: When we try to include () file which is not available. These errors are showed to the user by default but they will not result in ending the script.
    Notices:
    These errors are non-critical and trivial errors that come across while executing the script in PHP. Example: trying to gain access the variable which is not defined. These errors are not showed to the users by default even if the default behavior is changed.
    Fatal errors:
    These are critical errors. Example: instantiating an object of a class which does not exist or a non-existent function is called. These errors results in termination of the script immediately and default behavior of PHP is shown to them when they take place. Twelve different error types are used to represent these variations internally.

1. What are different ways to apply styles to a Web page?
There are four ways to apply style to a Web page.
    1. Inline CSS: HTML elements may have CSS applied to them via the STYLE attribute.For Example: If You have <p> element into webpage, you can apply inline style likeshows in example.<p style=”font-size: 12px;  color: #000000;”>Test </p>
You can always check HTML, CSS and JavaScript code impact using Online HTML Javascript editor. 
  •  Embedded CSS: CSS may be embedded in a Web page by placing the code    in a STYLE element within the HEAD element.For Example: If You have <h2> element into webpage, you can apply embedded style like shows in example.

<head>
<style type=”text/css”>
h2 {
font-size: 16px;
color: #2d2d2d;
font-weight: 900;
}
</style>
</head>
  • Linked CSS: CSS can be placed in an external file (a simple text file containing         CSS) and linked via the link element.You can apply style to webpage using external file as shown in example.
    <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”custom/custom.css” type=”text/css” media=”screen, projection” />
  • Imported CSS: Another way to utilize external CSS files via @import.<style>
    @import url(‘/css/styles.css’);
    </style>
    Put then your “styles.css” document can contain calls to any number of additional
    style sheets:
    @import url(‘/css/typography.css’);
    @import url(‘/css/layout.css’);
    @import url(‘/css/color.css’);
2. How do CSS precedence/cascading rules work? How does the !important directive affect the rules?
CSS style rules “cascade” in the sense that they follow an order of precedence. Global style rules apply first to HTML elements, and local style rules override them. For example, a style defined in a style element in a webpage overrides a style defined in an external style sheet. Similarly, an inline style that is defined in an HTML element in the page overrides any styles that are defined for that same element elsewhere.
The !important rule is a way to make your CSS cascade but also have the rules you feel are most crucial always be applied. A rule that has the !important property will always be applied no matter where that rule appears in the CSS document. So if you wanted to make sure that a property always applied, you would add the !important property to the tag. So, to make the paragraph text always red, in the above example, you would write:
p { color: #ff0000 !important; }
p { color: #000000; }

3. What is a class? What is an ID? 

A class is a style (i.e., a group of CSS attributes) that can be applied to one or more HTML elements. This means it can apply to instances of the same element or instances of different elements to which the same style can be attached. Classes are defined in CSS using a period followed by the class name. It is applied to an HTML element via the class attribute and the class name.
The following snippet shows a class defined, and then it being applied to an HTML DIV element.
.test {font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 20; background: black;}
<div class =”test”><p>test</p></div>
Also, you could define a style for all elements with a defined class. This is demonstrated with the following code that selects all P elements with the column class specified.
p.column {font-color: black;}
An ID selector is a name assigned to a specific style. In turn, it can be associated with one HTML element with the assigned ID. Within CSS, ID selectors are defined with the # character followed by the selector name.
The following snippet shows the CSS example1 defined followed by the use of an HTML element’s ID attribute, which pairs it with the CSS selector.
#example1: {background: blue;}
<div id=”example1″></div>

4. What is the difference between an ID selector and CLASS?

An ID selector identifies and sets style to only one occurrence of an element, while CLASS can be attached to any number of elements.

5. What is Contextual Selector?

Contextual selector addresses specific occurrence of an element. It is a string of individual selectors separated by white space (search pattern), where only the last element in the pattern is addressed providing it matches the specified contex

6. What is Grouping?

When more than one selector shares the same declaration, they may be grouped together via a comma-separated list; this allows you to reduce the size of the CSS (every bit and byte is important) and makes it more readable. The following snippet applies the same background to the first three heading elements.
h1, h2, h3 {background: red;}

7. What are Child Selectors?

A child selector is used when you want to match an element that is the child of another specific element. The parent and child selectors are separated by spaces. The following selector locates an unordered list element within a paragraph element and makes a text within that element bold.
p > ul {font-weight: bold;}

8. What are Pseudo Classes?

Pseudo classes allow you to identify HTML elements on characteristics (as opposed to their name or attributes). The classes are specified using a colon to separate the element name and pseudo class. A good example is the :link and :visited pseudo classes for the HTML A element. Another good example is first-child, which finds an element’s first child element.
The following CSS makes all visited links red and green, the actual link text becomes yellow when the mouse pointer is positioned over it, and the text of the first element of a paragraph is bold.
a:link {font-color: red;}
a:visited {font-color: green;}
a:hover {font-color: yellow;}
p.first-child {font-weight: bold;}

======================================================
What is DBMS ?
The database management system is a collection of programs that enables user to store, retrieve, update and delete information from a database.
2. What is RDBMS ?
Relational Database Management system (RDBMS) is a database management system (DBMS) that is based on the relational model. Data from relational database can be accessed or reassembled in many different ways without having to reorganize the database tables. Data from relational database can be accessed using an API , Structured Query Language (SQL).
3. What is SQL ?
Structured Query Language(SQL) is a language designed specifically for communicating with databases. SQL is an ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standard.

4. What are the different type of SQL's ?
1. DDL – Data Definition Language
DDL is used to define the structure that holds the data. For example, table.

2. DML– Data Manipulation Language
DML is used for manipulation of the data itself. Typical operations are Insert, Delete, Update and retrieving the data from the table.

3. DCL– Data Control Language 
DCL is used to control the visibility of data like granting database access and set privileges to create tables etc.

5. What are the Advantages of SQL
1. SQL is not a proprietary language used by specific database vendors. Almost every major DBMS supports SQL, so learning this one language will enable programmers to interact with any database like ORACLE, SQL ,MYSQL etc.

2. SQL is easy to learn. The statements are all made up of descriptive English words, and there aren't that many of them.

3. SQL is actually a very powerful language and by using its language elements you can perform very complex and sophisticated database operations.

6. what is a field in a database ?
A field is an area within a record reserved for a specific piece of data. 

Examples: Employee Name, Employee ID etc

7. What is a Record in a database ?
A record is the collection of values / fields of a specific entity: i.e. an Employee, Salary etc.
