echo and print

echo and print Statements

 

                               In PHP there are two basic ways to get output: echo and print.

 

                     In this tutorial we use echo (and print) in almost every example. So, this chapter contains a little more info about those two output statements.

The PHP echo Statement

 

              The echo statement can be used with or without parentheses: echo or echo().
Display Text

             The following example shows how to output text with the echo command (notice that the text can contain HTML markup):

 

For Example :-

 <?php
           echo "<h2>PHP is Fun!</h2>";
           echo "Hello world!<br>";
           echo "I'm about to learn PHP!<br>";
           echo "This ", "string ", "was ", "made ", "with multiple parameters."; ?> 

Display Variables

 

The following example shows how to output text and variables with the echo statement: 

For Example :-

 

<?php
            $txt1 = "Learn PHP";
            $txt2 = "W3Schools.com";
            $x = 5;
            $y = 4;

echo "<h2>$txt1</h2>";
echo "Study PHP at $txt2<br>";
echo $x + $y;
?>  

 

The PHP print Statement

 

                The print statement can be used with or without parentheses: print or print().

Display Text

                The following example shows how to output text with the print command (notice that the text can contain HTML markup):

 

For Example  

<?php
          print "<h2>PHP is Fun!</h2>";
          print "Hello world!<br>";
          print "I'm about to learn PHP!";
?> 

Display Variables

 The following example shows how to output text and variables with the print statement: 

 

For Example 
<?php
$txt1 = "Learn PHP";
$txt2 = "google";
$x = 5;
$y = 4;

print "<h2>$txt1</h2>";
print "Study PHP at $txt2<br>";
print $x + $y;
?>
