echo

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)

echoOutput one or more strings

Description

echo ( string $arg1 [, string $... ] ) : void

Outputs all parameters. No additional newline is appended.

echo is not actually a function (it is a language construct), so you are not required to use parentheses with it. echo (unlike some other language constructs) does not behave like a function, so it cannot always be used in the context of a function. Additionally, if you want to pass more than one parameter to echo, the parameters must not be enclosed within parentheses.

echo also has a shortcut syntax, where you can immediately follow the opening tag with an equals sign. Prior to PHP 5.4.0, this short syntax only works with the short_open_tag configuration setting enabled.

I have <?=$foo?> foo.

The major differences to print are that echo accepts an argument list and doesn't have a return value.

Examples

Example #1 echo examples

<?php
echo "Hello World";

// Strings can either be passed individually as multiple arguments or
// concatenated together and passed as a single argument
echo 'This ''string ''was ''made ''with multiple parameters.'chr(10);
echo 
'This ' 'string ' 'was ' 'made ' 'with concatenation.' "\n";

// Because echo does not behave like a function, the following code is invalid.
($some_var) ? echo 'true' : echo 'false';

// However, the following examples will work:
($some_var) ? print 'true' : print 'false'// print is also a construct, but
                                            // it behaves like a function, so
                                            // it may be used in this context.

echo $some_var 'true''false'// changing the statement around
?>

Notes

Note: Because this is a language construct and not a function, it cannot be called using variable functions.

Tip

A benefit to passing in multiple arguments over using concatenation in echo regards the precedence of the period operator in PHP. If multiple arguments are passed in, then parentheses will not be required to enforce precedence:

<?php
echo "Sum: "2;
echo 
"Hello ", isset($name) ? $name "John Doe""!";

With concatenation, the period operator has a higher precedence than both the addition and ternary operators, and so parentheses must be used for the correct behaviour:

<?php
echo 'Sum: ' . (2);
echo 
'Hello ' . (isset($name) ? $name 'John Doe') . '!';
