• PHP is not a function; it is a language construct and its output become one or more string.
  • If you want to pass more than one parameter to echo, the use of parentheses is required.
  • PHP echo statement is used to print the string, array, variable multi-line strings, escaping characters, etc.
  • Echo is used to display the output, because it is a statement and does not return any value.
  • Echo can be used with echo () or without parentheses echo.
  • In echo, we can pass multiple strings separated by a comma (,).
  • The PHP print can be used alternative to echo many times and its statement is similar to the echo statement.
  • In PHP print accepts one argument at a time & cannot be used as a variable function.
  • Echo is faster than the print statement and print outputs only the strings.
  • The main difference between the echo and print statement is that echo does not behave like function whereas print behave like a function.
