I was solving a question and got to see this one. I really don't know what it is. Just needed a one word answer for the problem.

  • Or you could simply ___Do one___ to compare it with an `echo` – RiggsFolly May 13 '20 at 15:51
  • [Mixed](https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.pseudo-types.php#language.types.mixed) (Which means pretty much everything, including nulls, objects, arrays, functions, etc) Where as echo can only show strings. – Dave Chen May 13 '20 at 15:53

A variable type.

Expanded answer: Even a line number if you have XDebug activated.

Also,

  • you won't see empty strings or falses using echo.
  • echo() doesn't show something except strings and types that can be converted to strings (like int, float, boolean or objects having __toString magic method).
