To all intents and purposes they are exactly the same :) They both do exactly the same thing and to my knowledge there are no speed differences.

Neither is a true 'function' so neither of them processes any of what you type. They are both language constructs not functions - see the php.net site for more information on this.

Which one you use is simply a matter of personal choice. I use echo() because that's what I used when I was learning PHP.

Check this out:

Quoted from PHP Doc: print()
print() is not actually a function (it is a language construct) so you are not required to use parentheses with it.

Quote:

Quoted from PHP Doc: echo()
// because echo is not a function, following code is invalid.
($some_var) ? echo('true'): echo('false');

// However, the following examples will work:
($some_var) ? print('true'): print('false'); // print is a function
echo $some_var ? 'true': 'false'; // changing the statement around

So... is print a function or not? ;)
