I've had to take online PHP tests twice for recruiters. My beefs are 1)
they're not "open book", and I code with a tab open to php.net all the
time. (Who remembers which parameter comes first on which function call:
needle or haystack?) 2) They never tell you *what* you got wrong. That's
not very helpful.
Mind you, these aren't "free" tests like you're probably talking about.
They are through a vendor whom the recruiter probably pays to administer
the test.
Incidentally, despite having written an awful lot of working PHP code, I
don't do well on those tests. Helps my confidence a lot, as you can
imagine.
