How you write number [1] comes down to personal preference. I'd 
rather write it as:

echo $myResult . '<br/>';

In number [2], I hope you realize that the string '$myResult' will be 
treated as a static string and will not be evaluated.

Also, since "echo" is a language construct and not a function, the 
parenthesis are not required.
