Hi Tony,
Heres a link about echo vs print:
http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/1/fid/40
I personally use echo because of all the other people that use it, the
documents i've read and the code i've studied. However, i really
don't use echo that much anymore, rather just escape php like so:
if ($blah == "blah") {
?>blah = "<?=$blah?>"<?
}
but thats messy, maybe i'm just lazy
