    What´s a diference between bloginfo(); and get_option(); in pratice?

    For example:

    <?php bloginfo(‘url’); ?> its diferent if <?php echo get_option(‘siteurl’); ?>

    What´s is more safe?

    Thank´s!

    I think the difference is that bloginfo prints directly to the web page, and get_option returns a value. That’s why to output a value using get_option one needs to use the php echo(); function.

    It depends on what exactly you’re wanting.

    – get_option gets arbitrary options out of the database.
    – get_bloginfo gets various blog informational settings.

    The results of these two may not be identical, because something might be filtering the bloginfo and not the options.
