print() or echo?

Zoltan

hi
I want to output a large chunk of html in my php code.
Should I use print() or echo?
and what about quotes?

Thanks,

Zoltan

escape out of php and display the html as is

<?php
.
.
.
// php code
.
.
.
?>
<html>
<!-- html code -->
</html>
<?php
.
.
.
//back to php
.
.
?>

Thanks Kevin, but I need to generate HTML dynamically. I just wanted to know if there is any difference between them in speed or usage of quotes etc.

thanks
Zoltan

kevinsequeira's got the right idea: if you've got a big chunk of HTML, then escape out of PHP to output it. If bits are generated by PHP, do those bits inside PHP.
