Usually when I interviewed for a programming job, the hirer used OOP and made sure I could follow and also some basic math problems (cause let's face it if you cannot do a mean or average your behind the curve).

 

Alot of it was hands on and I had to show him. He would then watch how I solved it and if I could follow along. That's how I got my first programming job, it was a small company (5 employees) but paid very well. So yea it depends on the company and what not. A small business you will probably learn more, a major business it is probably all in the application and what degrees you have etc.

If your looking to get a job, then you really need to know PHP. If you find a "cheat sheet" so to speak, and you actually land a job, it will become clear pretty quickly that you don't actually know what your doing.

 

Don't try to "learn enough to get a job", actually learn and be qualified for a position. There is nothing more annoying in the IT field is someone who *claims* to know this or that and then quickly shows that they are not much more knowledgeable than the average joe. Seen this several times in the industry. Those folks tend to make more work for the ones who actually know what they are doing, because the ones who know what they are doing have to clean up messes made by the one who claims to know what they are doing.

 

I am not an expert by any means, but am pretty comfortable with what I know and have experienced those folks who "claim" to know this or that. They like to talk, and they quickly show that they are full of crap.

 

Don't be that person. If you legitimately know PHP and how it works, then you should be fine while interviewing for a position. Even if you don't know all the answers, if you show that you are competent with the language and can solve problems, then you will most likely do fine.
