    dunno.... I'm only aware of echo in PHP.....

    Both functions do the same but print returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure... So, no real difference for normal use.

    Is there ever a case when print would fail?

    Seems a bit pointless anyway because if print fails you can't print to the user there was an error Suppose you could print to a file or e-mail or something though.

    I'm new to PHP, but I'm guessing that the print can fail if the value it is to print is erroneous.

    For example, if there were a function that returns a value, and we do a

    PHP Code:
    print IsHeStupid("RickBull"); 
    it would return a "Absolutely"

    On the other hand, if the function were to fail

    PHP Code:
    print SizeOfBrain("RickBull"); 
    there might be an error message?

    I'm only guessing here, I haven't actually tried it out.

    You wouldn't know if the error is from not being able to print or not being able to return the sizeofbrain...

    You know that frog has been pretty rude to me in recent times! Although I can't really say that was a rude comment, more honest than rude.
