What is the difference between Print_r and echo ?

print_r and echo both print in php but

echo

echo print only variable which are not included as array or object


echo 'Hello world';

will print Hello world

but if it is array then in echo it wont print full array .


$hello=array('xyz');
echo $hello;

print_r()

print_r will print the string , integer value or array , or object anything.

how print_r will react with string variable ?


$xy='hello world';
print_r($xy);

print_r will print hello world

how print_r will react with array ?


$xy=array('hello','world');
print_r($xy);

print_r will print array with its value

how print_r will react with object ?


$xy=new stdClass;
$xy->type='object';
print_r($xy);

print_r will print object with its value
