Ok, so I have an interview coming up in about 2 weeks and the position is for "developer" and is very general (I'm guessing they want to see how much you know and if you'll fit in at the company).

I have been developing in PHP for about 3 years now and I think I have the fundamentals down, but I'd like to know what ww considers fundamental PHP knowledge.....little help please. Thanks.

Some things I consider to be PHP fundamentals:
Data Structures
Form Processing
Ability to work with classes
Security

IMO, I'd say you know the basics of PHP if you know the following:
  • Program flow
  • Functions
  • A basic understanding of Classes and Objects
  • How to work with files
  • How to work with forms
  • MySQL through PHP
  • Multiple-User Considerations (methods of locking data, sessions, etc)
  • Debugging and troubleshooting your code

I wouldn't worry about the interview. If you know your stuff, you know your stuff :)

I wish you all the best. I hope you get the position! Good luck
