I think the suggestions above are good. I've Interviewed several candidates for PHP dev positions.

Here what I usually check for in a candidate: - know your OOP (when to extend a class when to use composition, dependency injection, single responsibility principle) - Usually ask at explaining MVC - Ask about frameworks you've worked with (Symphony, Zend, Laravel, etc.) - Your ability to solve problems.

But mostly I look at your ability to solve problems and learn on your own. So if you dont know the answer to something, just let them know that Google and Stackoverflow are your best friends.

I was doing a laravel project from tuts+ and you don't know how many times I had to check for stackoverflow for answers to problems. I was discouraged that I wouldn't fix some of my issues with the project but I was able to complete the project after a week, which made me happy.
