Echo/Print in PHP – Tutorials Art

An echo/print in PHP is the output variable used to display values of your program on screen.

An echo is slightly different from print. The major difference is that an echo has a return value of 1 but a print has a return value of 0.
An echo is marginally faster or speedy than a print that’s why it can easily take multiple parameters in it. But a print can take only one argument at a time.

Echo in PHP

An echo in PHP can be used both as a statement and function like (echo, echo( ) ).

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<?php
$var = "Study PHP";
echo "PHP is a free and open-source language<br>";
echo $var ;
?> 

</body>
</html>

Similarly, a print in PHP is also used both as a statement and as a function like ( print, print( ) ).

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<?php
$y = 9;
print "The number that we want is: ";
print $y;
?> 

</body>
</html>
