Hello Rushi,

print is used to print a single line whereas we can use multiple lines with echo function.

Example:

$str = “Hello meet”;

$str1 = “Patel”;

print $str;  // Output will display a “Hello meet” when you will run the script

print $str,$str1; // Output of this line will be a syntax error.

echo $str,$str1; // Output of this line will be a “Hello meet patel”;

 

Moreover echo is faster than the print statement.

Hello ,

echo and print are more or less the same. They are both used to output data to the screen. The differences are small: echo has no return value while print has a return value of 1 so it can be used in expressions. echo can take multiple parameters (although such usage is rare) while print can take one argument.

 

For Example :-

echo “This “, “string “, “was “, “made “, “with multiple parameters.”; //this is valid

Print “This “, “string “, “was “, “made “, “with multiple parameters.”; // this is not valid

Hey Meet,

In a nutshell, echo and print both are PHP Statement.
Both are used to display the output in PHP.

Echo:

1. It can be used with or without parentheses;
2. echo can pass multiple strings separated as ( , );
3. echo doesn’t return any value

Print

1. Print can don’t pass multiple arguments
2. Print always return 1
3. It is slower than echo

 

Hope this helps!
