php multi line comment code example

Example 1: php comment

<?php
// This is a single-line comment

# This is also a single-line comment
  
/*
This is a multiple-lines comment block
that spans over multiple
lines
*/
  
// You can also use comments to leave out parts of a code line
$x = 5 /* + 15 */ + 5;
echo $x;
?>

Example 2: 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 3: comment php

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

Example 4: comment in php

It is worth mentioning that, HTML comments have no meaning in PHP parser. So,

<!-- comment
<?php echo some_function(); ?>
-->

WILL execute some_function() and echo result inside HTML comment.

Example 5: 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)-->*/

Example 6: php comment

// I'm a single, line comment 
#  I am another single line comments using #
/*
 And I am a 
 multiline comment
*/
