Why printf?

Why do we use printf? I started c at the beginning of 6 weeks (minus about a week of c++), but knew PHP before that. In PHP you use the print statement where you just go

Code:

<?php
print "The variables value is: $variable";
?>

whereas in c you have to write

Code:

printf("The variables value is: %d", variable);

Can you use print() in c? If so why doesn't FIRST?
