3rd ZCE from Pakistan

ZCE Logo

Well, after dreaming for more than a year to become ZCE, I finally passed the Zend PHP Certification exam today. It was rather tough. Most of the questions were confusing.

To pass the exam, I recommend you get comfortable with array manipulation, regular expression, dates, file streams, solving syntactical problems and excellent memory to remember function names and their purpose. I have signed and accepted the NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement), so I cannot disclose any more information.

Zend Study guides & Practice Test Books are excellent but you must have years of practical experience in php and mysql to pass the exam. The result of the exam is boolean (True or False) Smile. It would be better if ZEND disclose the result.

I am thrilled to have accomplished this feat after much preparation. However, I did get plenty of support. As they say, behind every successful man there is a woman and in my case it was my wife!
