whats the difference between
print and echo ?
From memory, print() is a function while echo is a language construct
The major difference is that you can use echo with a comma seperated
list of arguments, while print requires you to concatenate strings For
example:
echo hello , world;
print hello world;
Of these two the echo command is more efficient The print statement
requires PHP to create a new string in memory and copy hello and
world into it, then display that string The echo command does not
require the new string creation step - instead it sends hello to the
browser, then sends world to the browser without needing to stick them
together in memory first
The difference in performance however is minimal to the point of being
completely un-noticable
I think that's the difference anyway :)
