PHP Multi-line Comments
PHP Multi-line Comments
Multi-line comments start with /*
and end with */.
Any text between /* and */ will be ignored.
The following example uses a multi-line comment as an explanation:
Example
Multi-line comment as an explanation:
/* The next statement will
print a welcome message */
echo 'Welcome Home!';Multi-line Comments to Ignore Code
We can use multi-line comments to prevent blocks of code from being executed:
Example
Use multi-line comment to ignore code:
/*
echo 'Welcome to my home!';
echo 'Mi casa su casa!';
*/
echo 'Hello!';
Comments in the Middle of the Code
The multi-line comment syntax can also be used to prevent execution of parts inside a code-line:
Example
The + 15 part will be ignored in the calculation:
$x = 5 /* + 15 */ + 5;
echo $x;
