print

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)
Output a string
int print ( string $arg )

Outputs arg.

print is not actually a real function (it is a language construct) so you are not required to use parentheses with its argument list.

Parameters:
arg

The input data.

Returns:

Returns 1, always.

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

// Using single quotes will print the variable name, not the value
print 'foo is $foo'// foo is $foo
 
// If you are not using any other characters, you can just print variables
print $foo;          // foobar
 
print <<<END
This uses the "here document" syntax to output
multiple lines with $variable interpolation. Note
that the here document terminator must appear on a
line with just a semicolon no extra whitespace!
