What is the difference between print and echo?

You are unlikely to ever want to know this, however the difference is that print will return a value to let you know if the statement worked or not, whereas trying the same thing with echo will result in error:


<?php

echo "Please don't make me say it... \n";

$you = print "Hello World!\n";

echo "Returning $you"; //Returning 1, assuming the print worked

?>
