How to use print command In PHP

The run time of the print function in PHP is slightly more than that of echo function. 
Example 1:

PHP
<?php

$string = "w3wiki!!";

// Printing the string directly
print("Printing the string: ");

// Printing the variable
print $string;
?>

Output

Printing the string: w3wiki!!

Example 2: Arrays can be printed using the print_r method which is used to print the index along with its values. 

PHP
<?php

// Declaring an array
$arr = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
echo('Array : ');

// Printing array
print_r($arr);
?>

Output

Array : Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 3 [3] => 4 [4] => 5 )
