Why you ask? Because print returns a value, echo does not :) And printf() is faster than echo: Using <?php echo $x; ?> Took 1.4402 seconds ť Reveal output Using <?php print $x; ?> Took 1.1628 seconds ť Reveal output Using <?php printf('%s', $x); ?> Took 0.8289 seconds ť Reveal output -- How many Vietnam vets does it take to screw in a light bulb?
