Doc #72865 [NEW]: describe difference to echo (with example ideally)

From: flashfee at gmx dot net Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:describe difference to echo (with example ideally) Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.print --- Both echo and print output a string. The similiarity and differences should be described. (syntax, performance, buffering, alias ..???) I use 'print' when I'm programming in Perl, I use echo when programming in PHP. Now I learned there is also 'print' in PHP? So can I just forget 'echo' and always use print? :-) -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72865&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72865&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72865&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72865&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72865&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72865&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72865&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72865&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72865&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72865&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72865&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72865&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72865&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72865&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72865&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72865&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72865&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72865&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72865&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72865&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72865&r=mysqlcfg
