PHP print() Function
Complete PHP String Reference
Definition and Usage
The print() function outputs one or more strings.
Syntax
print(strings)
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| strings | Required. One or more strings to be sent to the output |
Tips and Notes
Note: The print() function is not actually a function, so you are not required to use parentheses with it.
Tip: The print() function is slightly slower than echo().
Example 1
<?php
$str = "Who's Kai Jim?";
print $str;
print "<br />";
print $str."<br />I don't know!";
?>
$str = "Who's Kai Jim?";
print $str;
print "<br />";
print $str."<br />I don't know!";
?>
The output of the code above will be:
Who's Kai Jim?
Who's Kai Jim?
I don't know!
Who's Kai Jim?
I don't know!
Example 2
<?php
print "This text
spans multiple
lines.";
?>
print "This text
spans multiple
lines.";
?>
The output of the code above will be:
This text spans multiple lines.
Example 3
Difference of single and double quotes. Single quotes will print the variable name, not the value:
<?php
$color = "red";
print "Roses are $color";
print "<br />";
print 'Roses are $color';
?>
$color = "red";
print "Roses are $color";
print "<br />";
print 'Roses are $color';
?>
The output of the code above will be:
Roses are red
Roses are $color
Roses are $color
