i think no one will really share their membership details .. but keep searching .. as for the test drive .. there is nothing to test drive really, you just get all the brain bench exams there .. the only difference is you cant show the result publically .. so use this to train yourself and then when you have enough practice do the real brain bench exams.

hmm i would have to say Zend .. cause as they says .. they are the PHP company and ofcourse another thing to take into consideration is if either of them offer test facilities in Lahore .. so guess that will be deciding factor as well.

Thnx a ton for ur response Sabeen. Now another quick one, which one do u prefer, W3Schools PHP certification http://www.w3schools.com/cert/cert_php.asp or Zend http://www.zend.com/services/certification/ or any other option?

personally i think , certifications are great to get ur foot through the door. and they definitely help you get work , cause new clients will have a little more confidence in you , as your certification says you know this thing .. however , certifications are over rated .. and getting a 100% score on a certification doesnt mean you are the best person out there for the job .. so i guess its just a matter of priorities .. and besides u will not always work online .. so its better to have certifications so that you can show to ur prospective employers down the line. hope that helps!

Hi, A little off the topic but i find u a qualified person to ask this. Do u think PHP certification or Zend certified engineer certifications r worth doing for a freelancer? Will this benefit someone looking for work online?
