print

(PHP 3, PHP 4, PHP 5)

print -- Output a string

Description

int print ( string arg )

Outputs arg . Returns 1 , always.

print() is not actually a real function (it is a language construct) so you are not required to use parentheses with its argument list.

例子 1. print() examples

<?php
print( "Hello World" );

print
"print() also works without parentheses." ;

print
"This spans
multiple lines. The newlines will be
output as well"
;

print
"This spans\nmultiple lines. The newlines will be\noutput as well." ;

print
"escaping characters is done \"Like this\"." ;

// You can use variables inside of a print statement
$foo = "foobar" ;
$bar = "barbaz" ;

print
"foo is $foo" ; // foo is foobar

// You can also use arrays
$bar = array( "value" => "foo" );

print
"this is { $bar [ 'value' ]} !" ; // this is foo !

// Using single quotes will print the variable name, not the value
print 'foo is $foo' ; // foo is $foo

// If you are not using any other characters, you can just print variables
print $foo ;           // foobar

print <<<END
This uses the "here document" syntax to output
multiple lines with $variable interpolation. Note
that the here document terminator must appear on a
line with just a semicolon no extra whitespace!
END;
?>

注: 由于这是一个语言结构而非函数,因此它无法被 变量函数 调用。
