When is it best to use one?
echo "echo";
print "print";

They are very similar. Some differences:
print
- Returns 1 as a result and can be used in expressions
echo
- Returns a type
void, so it can not be used in expressions - It is possible to pass several arguments that must be printed separated by commas
- It's slightly faster
I realize that print does not exist. I never had to use it as an expression that would be the only reason to use it.
