    Information on php echo

    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. This short syntax only works with the short_open_tag configuration setting enabled.

    You can echo array values or use these values directly in your statements.

    Say you have an array:

    $colors=array('good ', 'very good', 'best');

    The above is equivalent to:

    $colors[0]="good";
    $colors[1]="very good";
    $colors[2]="best";

    To echo, simply do:

    echo $colors[0]; // outputs good
    echo $colors[1]; // outputs very good
    echo $colors[2]; // outputs best

    echo() function is slightly faster than print(). It can output all types of data and multiple outputs can be made with only one echo () command.

    Example
    <?php echo "welcome to my website "; ?>

    Re: Information on php echo

    <? php function hello_world ()
    ( echo 'Hello World! " ; ) >

    To display Hello World! Anywhere in your code, you will only have to type this:

    <? php hello_world () / / calls the "hello_world" which will display "Hello World! ?>

    Re: Information on php echo

    You should take care while using HTML code or any other string that includes quotes. Echo uses quotes to define the beginning and end of the string, Escape your quotes that are within the string with a backslash. To escape a quote just place a backslash directly before the quotation mark.
