how to coment php code example

Example 1: 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;
}
// */
?>

Example 2: comments in php

//For a single line comment use //:
//this is a comment too
//for multi-line comments use /* and */:
/* <--start of multi-line comment
this is a comment

this is a comment too (end of multi-line comment)-->*/
