Re: [PHP] code quest - ECHO?!?
And the obvious difference, print returns true on success. I'm not sure what would cause an echo it print to ever fail, so it really doesn't make a huge difference.

To: "Kirk Bailey" Cc: They are almost identical. Echo supports multiple parameters like "echo $a, $b;" print is 20% slower than echo (by some tests). "echo" is shorter than "print" so it's easy to write. In fact it's all a matter of taste. The same reason we user die instead of exit.

Groovy; they appear to be identical in all but name. IDENTICAL. Or am I missing a subtle definition difference?

Ok, so what is echo, and how is it different from print. The code in code quest used echo. I have a copy of learning php 5.0 from O'Reilly, and noplace does it mention echo. Why? What's the difference? IS there a difference? Is there an advantage to either?
