Summary: echo doesn't accept multiple arguments
Status: Not a bug
Type: Bug
Package: *General Issues
Operating System: Debian
PHP Version: 5.6.30
Block user comment: N
Private report: N
New Comment:
Echo and parenthesis have nothing to do with each other. You can write echo("Foo") in the same way you're allowed to write echo(((((((((("Foo")))))))))). Both are equally pointless. The correct echo syntax is `echo "Foo"`.

Could it be reclassified as feature request to allow echo to also accept multiple arguments when parentheses are used?
If not, IMO the documentation should be improved as explained in the previous comment.

Not a bug, explained in manual as you've later realized.

Grr, this seems to simple to be true.
> Additionally, if you want to pass more than one parameter to echo, the parameters must not be enclosed within parentheses.

Perhaps this should be split into two lines, one without parentheses and with multiple arguments and one with parentheses and a single argument.
Or multiple arguments should be supported in both forms..
