I'm not sure if I'm wrong in saying this, but last I checked, commented code should never be parsed by any compiler/runtime. The fact that PHP is reading the commented code implies a parsing issue. If I'm incorrect in saying this, please let me know. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-20 12:03:55] edink@php.net Sorry, but the bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions.

Haven't found anything on this issue in the Bug db. I know there are obvious work-arounds but I thought I'd mention it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18987&edit=1
