There are two basic ways to get the output in PHP:

  • echo [ echo or echo() ]
  • print [ print or print() ]

Note:

1- The echo statement can be used with or without parentheses: echo or echo().

2-The print statement can be used with or without parentheses: print or print().

Difference between echo and print

S.No.echoprint
1does not return any value returns an integer value, which is 1.
2echo is faster than print statement.print is slower than echo statement.
3We can pass multiple strings separated by comma (,) in echo.Using print, we cannot pass multiple arguments.
