Davey Shafik is reporting that he has taken (and passed – congratulations!) the beta Zend PHP 5 certification exam. I’m planning on taking his once its generally availiable, and I’m glad to hear that the general concerns about the PHP4 exam have been addressed. Davey says its got better questions, with less syntax error stuff.
I never took the PHP4 exam because it all seemed to rest on being able to regurgitate the php manual. Hopfully this has changed. Looking forward to seeing study guides and things appearing on Amazon too.
