Example 1: comment in php

// This is a single-line comment
# This is also a single-line comment in unix and linux
  
/*

lines
*/
  
// You can also use comments to leave out parts of a code line
$var = 2 /* + 12 */ + 2;
echo $var;
?>

Example 2: comment in php

it's perhaps not obvious to some, but the following code will cause a parse error! the ?> in //?> is not treated as commented text, this is a result of having to handle code on one line such as <?php echo 'something'; //comment ?>

<?php
if(1==1)
{
    //?>
}
?>

i discovered this "anomally" when i commented out a line of code containing a regex which itself contained ?>, with the // style comment.
e.g. //preg_match('/^(?>c|b)at$/', 'cat', $matches);
will cause an error while commented! using /**/ style comments provides a solution. i don't know about # style comments, i don't ever personally use them.
