YouTube is the most common platform for sharing videos these days and once you’ve uploaded a video to YouTube, you lose some amount of control over it. YouTube has the rights to withhold or completely erase your content if it breaches any of their copyright or royalty related policies. The worst thing that could even happen in that scenario is when you don’t have your videos backed up to your local hard drive. Before you let yourself lose your entire library of YouTube videos due to some unforeseeable circumstances, it would be preferable that you take timely backups. These backups of your own YouTube videos will also allow you to view them offline, on your own devices. While downloading your own royalty-free YouTube videos, you would need a right tool that will make the entire process less daunting and time consuming.

It can be difficult to hire a developer without knowing all of their skills. To avoid problems once you hire them, it’s possible to use a PHP Online Programming Test so you can test the full extent of their knowledge prior to offering them a job.
PHP is a scripting language that is used for a lot of web development. More than 240 million websites have PHP installed on them, so it is a very popular language that is used. Not all programmers have the same level of knowledge and you will want to know what they do and don’t know. Tests for Geeks is there for you.
The PHP/MySQL test (https://tests4geeks.com/test/php-mysql) will be useful when deciding what they know. You can have a candidate take the test and once they have completed it, you will get the results. This will allow you to see how much they know and then decide if you want to hire them.
The test is not designed to take the place of an interview. You may still want to conduct an interview. However, you can narrow down the candidates that you interview by first finding out about the full extent of their PHP knowledge. If they don’t do well on their test, then you may not want to bother with an interview. This will save you time and ensure you’re only interviewing the most qualified of the candidates.
