> Interview questions, code samples, frameworks: how to test PHP skill.

- [PHP Interview Questions: 15 for Hiring Managers, Scored](https://php-entwickler-gesucht.de/en/assessing-candidates/php-interview-questions/): Useful PHP interview questions test understanding rather than memory: loose versus strict comparison, enums and readonly classes, PHP 8.3 and 8.4 features, safe database access, sessions, Composer, testing and debugging. Show candidates real code, ask why rather than what, and score every interview against the same sheet so you can compare candidates fairly.
- [Laravel vs Symfony: Choosing for Your Project and Team](https://php-entwickler-gesucht.de/en/assessing-candidates/laravel-vs-symfony/): Pick Laravel if you want to ship products quickly with strong conventions and a large hiring pool. Pick Symfony for large, long-lived systems with many contributors, where explicit configuration and four-year LTS security support matter. For most companies the deciding factor is simpler: which framework the people who will lead the project already know well.
- [PHP Coding Test for Hiring: A Fair Task You Can Reuse](https://php-entwickler-gesucht.de/en/assessing-candidates/php-coding-test/): A good PHP coding test takes no more than three hours, uses a realistic domain that has nothing to do with your product, and is scored against a rubric written before the first submission. Code review tasks work especially well: candidates find problems in existing code and explain their fixes. Pay a flat fee for the candidate's time.
- [Senior PHP Developer Skills: What Senior Really Means](https://php-entwickler-gesucht.de/en/assessing-candidates/senior-php-developer-skills/): Senior PHP developer skills are about responsibility, not years: splitting a system into sensible modules, planning PHP and framework upgrades, finding performance problems by measuring, raising the quality of the whole team through reviews and mentoring, and explaining trade-offs to non-developers. Test for them with scenarios from your own codebase rather than syntax trivia.
