On a partly related matter, which of the following is "correct" or "Better" ? echo("Stuff to display..."); or echo 'Stuff to display...'; or echo "Stuff to display..."; or echo('Stuff to display...');I use: echo('Stuff to display...');First, it easy for me to read. Second, the processor doe not evaluate the contents.However, echo 'Stuff to display...'; is probably the more "purest" route. You don't need the parenthesis. If you have a variable in the mix, then use double quotes, such as: echo("Stuff to display... $stuff");
This is really a personal preference. The same issue arises with the use of require, require_once, include, and include_once. None of these are functions (just like echo) and so they do not need the parenthesis. That said... for eacho I prefer to leave the parenthesis off since it makes formatting of text more convenient. However for require, include, etc... I usually add parenthesis so that it looks like a function :)
