Why we should echo instead of return?

[mahshad]

Hi,

Could you please describe why we should do
echo $blade->make('homepage', ['name' => 'John Doe']);
instead of doing
return $blade->make('homepage', ['name' => 'John Doe']);?

Thanks

@mahshad I think it would completely depend upon the context. If you are ready to output to the page, then echo it. If you are being called from within some function that expects HTML, then return what it wants. You'll just have to look deeper into whatever framework you are using.
