I am not sure that C has a print() function. If it did, it would be functionally identical to printf, I imagine. PHP is an entirely different language than C, and they have different syntax and commands and functions.

Don't forget, not all computers have the same outputs, so you can 'print' to several different things (a printer, a serial connection, a monitor).
