I understand that echo is slightly faster, and print can be used as a function, but I’ve been reading an e-book on PHP, and the writer is using print, instead of echo, to output very simple text.
print "Your name is $name\n";
So my question is, when would it be appropriate for me to use print as opposed to echo?
Never.
Definitely a micro optimisation.
Some may find it useful as the and print trick. But ugly as hell and not recommended.
