// This is a single-line comment

# This is also a single-line comment
  
/*
This is a multiple-lines comment block

Example 6: comment in php

A nice way to toggle the commenting of blocks of code can be done by mixing the two comment styles:
<?php
//*
if ($foo) {
  echo $bar;
}
// */
sort($morecode);
?>

Now by taking out one / on the first line..

<?php
/*
if ($foo) {
  echo $bar;
}
// */
sort($morecode);
?>
..the block is suddenly commented out.
This works because a /* .. */ overrides //. You can even "flip" two blocks, like this:
<?php
//*
if ($foo) {
  echo $bar;
}
/*/
if ($bar) {
  echo $foo;
}
// */
?>
vs
<?php
/*
if ($foo) {
  echo $bar;
}
/*/
if ($bar) {
  echo $foo;
}
// */
?>
