Print is possible only when there's freedom of the press. Otherwise all you
can do is echo.

One is spelt echo and the other is spelt print otherwise they are pretty
much the same, and your choice will depend on what programming languages you
used prior to php or what source you learnt php from.

Although both are language constructs, print() can be used as a
function.


1 <?php
2
3 $x = 'hello world';
4
5 if (print($x)) echo 'if (print()) worked';
6 echo "\n";
7 if (echo ($x)) echo 'if (echo()) worked';
8 echo "\n";
9
10 ?>


Here, line 7 gives a parse error.

echo is faster and less to type. ;)
