Keep the following tips in mind when deciding how to comment your code:
The single line comment begins with "//" or "#". When encountered, all text to the right will be ignored by the PHP interpreter.
// This is a comment
# This is also a comment
echo "Hello World!"; // This is also a comment, beginning where we see "//"
The multi-line comment can be used to comment out large blocks of code. It begins with /*
and ends with */
.
/* This is a multi-line comment.
It spans multiple lines.
This is still part of the comment.
*/
