"whereas to echo it you'd have to concatenate the string." false
you don't have to concat strings with echo you can print vars the same way as print

I don't know what to say, my comment was based on

note the author.
I ran your code in both windows and linux and got
faster speeds, on a regular basis, for echo. That
said, the speed differences were not great(minor is a
good descript

time_start = $this->GetMicroTime();
}
function Stop(){
$time_end = $this->GetMicroTime();
$this->time_delta
echo and print both work.

Actually, you can do the same thing with echo.
echo "you have $points points";
As I understand it, echo is not a function it's a
language something or other, supposedly it runs
slightly faster than print given the same output.
however, given it's Monday, I could be wrong.

i seem to remember reading somewhere that print acts like (is) a function,
presumably returning false if it cannot print to screen, whereas echo just
dumps it.
also you can drop vars in print like
print "you have $points points";
whereas to echo it you'd have to concatenate the string.

You prolly mean print; There may be some minor differences fro
Why should I use printf instead of echo and vice versa?
As for today I use printf mostly but I don't know why.
