PHP echo can be used to display text (a "string"), or any other value or output. In the following example we will show "Hello World" on the PHP script by using the echo statement.
PHP:
<?php
    echo "Hello World";
?>
Simply use the function "echo" and then follow that with a string in quotations, a variable, or another data value.

<?php
    echo("Hello world with php!");
