Was trying to figure out which was best, since both essentially to the same thing. Managed to find a preformance test done by some other dude.
eh… good I always use echo 
There is only one difference between the 2:
echo returns nothing.
print returns 1 (true) or 0 (false) if it successfully prints.
print has 5 character and echo 4 
I always use echo, and it seems like a good thing to do, and thanks for the info marble, I always wanted to know, but why would you check to see if it printed? what would stop it?
edit: figured it out, a messed up variable of course
Lol @ T.O. Uhmmm forgot that one… 
I used to always use print until I read that about the return. I personally don’t see much use in it. I mean if you mispell something it should be obvious if it doesnt show on the screen. Might be useful for debugging.
$debug = true;
if ($debug) {
if (! print $someVar) {
echo “You made a boo boo”;
}
}
But that could get pretty redundant.
good info but I’m still gonna use echo because I simply don’t make no mistakes 
Actually, from PHP.net, it always returns ‘1’ :
(PHP 3, PHP 4, PHP 5 )
print – Output a string
Description
int print ( string arg)
Outputs arg. Returns 1, always.
print() is not actually a real function (it is a language construct) so you are not required to use parentheses with its argument list.
ah… any clue what the purpose of it might be?
- I see you work for 2advanced…
Essentially the return allows you to build larger, more complex expressions in PHP, where echo would not quite work …
For instance, you can incorporate print statements into if()'s, for loops, while loops, and basically anywhere echo would essentially be a noop which would violate the syntax requirements.

Hope that helps.
