PHP Comments

Comments are used by programmers while programming irrespective of the programming language. They make the computer program more understandable to the reader and are not interpreted or compiled while execution. PHP contains multiple ways of commenting.

Single-line commenting

Syntax of single-line commenting is:

<?php
     //Single-line commenting
     #Single-line commenting using hash symbol
?>

Multiple-line commenting

Syntax of multiple-line commenting is:

<?php
     /*     
     This way of commenting
     is used to comment
     multiple lines of code. 
     */
?>
