Actual result is a parse error. echo is NOT a function.
This is the correct way:

echo "foo", $bar;

As to my knowledge echo is a built in method (function) of php and per object oriented standards all methods including print and echo use parenthesis even in all the php 5 text books that I have seen use echo ("Name is ", $first); as consistant standard?

Sorry, but you're wrong. you should not use () with echo (and it's not a function or method, it's a language construct).
