PHP echo() Function

PHP String Reference Manual

Example

Output some text:


Definition and Usage

The echo() function outputs one or more strings.

Note: The echo() function is not actually a function, so you do not have to use parentheses with it. However, if you want to pass more than one argument to echo(), using parentheses will generate a parse error.

Tip: The echo() function is slightly faster than the print() function.

Tip: The echo() function also has a shorthand syntax. Prior to PHP 5.4.0, this syntax only works if the short_open_tag configuration setting is enabled.
