Also, they cannot be called using variable functions. Notice however that though echo doesn't return a value, print does. On Tue, Apr 29, 2014 at 7:46 AM, Kumar Saurabh Sinha < sinha.ksaurabh@gmail.com> wrote:

Difference between Language Construct & Functions: *Language Constructs* Constructs are elements that are built-into the language and, therefore, follow special rules. Perhaps the most common of them is the echo statement, which allows you to write data to the script’s output: echo 10; // will output 10 It’s important to understand that echo is not a function and, as such, it does not have a return value. If you need to output data through a function, you can use print() instead: echo 10;print (10); Another very important construct is die(), which is itself an alias of exit(). It allows you to terminate the script’s output and either output a string or return a numeric status to the process that called the script.

They should push the use of echo over print since it's a language construct and not a function thus it benefits from no function

Cheers, Rob.

I'd like to retract this comment :) Apparent print is not a function.

Didn't it used to be?

Cheers, Rob. --

Nope, you can't retract it. :-) As for "print" being a function or construct, I dunno -- what's the difference? Cheers, tedd _______________ tedd sperling tedd@sperling.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
