Re: print vs. echo

You can also use a similar syntax like this $var = "even variables"; echo " <table> <tr> <td> Print something inside the table $var </td> </tr> <table> "; This helps keep HTML syntax nice and simple. Just for the record, I am going to run some benchmark tests to see which output function performs best and test them under different platforms such as NT vs Unix and PHP vs ASP. I'll post them to www.databasewatch.com when I've got some results.
