Default PHP Quiz - What did you get?

I've just had a stab at the W3Schools' PHP quiz. I must admit that I did get 19/20 :( due to the fact that I still thought PHP was an acronym for Personal Home Page. I didn't realise they'd changed it!

Take the quiz now! And let us all know what you got :) !

Lol since when was it "Personal Home Page"? It's always been Hyptertext Preprocessor as far as I know. About to go have a go now.

They've really improved the PHP section, twice as big as it was last time I looked at it (although that was years ago).

Not in PHP5. See here, "MySQL is not enabled by default, nor is the MySQL library bundled with PHP."

I got 20 in about 5 minutes because the pages were really slow to load. I'd like to see something like this for what might be considered "advanced" topics. :)

I got a 90%, because I didn't know about the default state of MySQL, and I can't remember what else I missed, but it was something that I never really knew in the first place.
