echo and print are more or less the same. They are both used to output data to the screen.

The differences are:

  • echo has no return value while print has a return value of 1 so it can be used in expressions.
  • echo can take multiple parameters (although such usage is rare) while print can take one argument.
  • echo is faster than print.
