First we cover some of the very basic theory of PHP echo and PHP print,. We discover that they are both used to output data to the screen. They are both language constructs, not functions therefore do not require parentheses.

Furthermore, print, unlike echo, is an expression (it returns 1). PHP Echo can take multiple values where as PHP Print takes one argument

I take you through a range of examples putting theory into practice where we use both PHP print and PHP echo to print variables, strings, use concatenation and discover we can also output HTML.
