 don't echo and printf do different jobs ?
 
 as i understand it echo will dump anything to screen, fprint will accept
 formatted text args like you owe me %d dollars,$owed_amount) or something
 like that.
 
 i kind of use print by itself (harking back to the old days of basic etc)
 but use echo quite a lot. only use printf when i have to put cash amounts in
 and stuff like that.
 
 Steve

printf ();
echo ;
print ();

They do the same but why?

The question that drives us (nice quote!) is if we gain any speed to use
one another or if it is too little to be measured.

[PHP] echo vs printf

2001-07-16 Thread brother

Why should I use printf instead of echo and vice versa? 

As for today I use printf mostly but I don't know why.
