PHP Echo and Print
Echo and print are used to display output in PHP.

PHP Echo statement
Let’s start with echo statement. The echo statement can display anything in the browser such as strings , numbers , variables e.t.c

It works faster than print and can take multiple statement. It can be used with or without parentheses.

Let’s take a quick example. The code below will print Hello world using the echo statement.

<?php
// Display hello world

echo "Hello World!";
?>

And this is the result

Example 2

<?php
// Declare variables
$str = "Hello World!";
$num = 23567;

// Displaying variables
echo $str;
echo "<br>";
echo $num;
?>

Result

The PHP print statement
