PHP allows three forms of comments all of which may seem familiar to programmers of other languages.



/* comment block
everything within the slash-asterisk
pairs is commented */


Two inline comment styles cause everything following to be ignored:

$var++;  // increment var
$var=2;  # another comment


Comments don't work when they are in quotes (otherwise we couldn't use a # in the output of an echo statement).
