#31491 [Csd]: Comment (/* */) parsing is also done inside strings

ID: 31491 User updated by: jeroen at unfix dot org Reported By: jeroen at unfix dot org Status: Closed Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: any PHP Version: 5.0.3 New Comment: IMHO better to make it: "'C' style comments end by the first encountered */ even inside strings and other parsable entities." The comments already contain that one is best of marking code with if (0)/(1) when one wants to disable part of the code for debugging purposes etc...

Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. I think it's clear enough. However I've added: "'C' style comments end by the first encountered */." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-11 14:33:04] jeroen at unfix dot org No, it is not a dupe, it is a documentation problem. re-read it please. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-11 13:45:50] vrana@php.net Duplicate to #31395. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-11 13:00:41] jeroen at unfix dot org One cannot nest C comments, so that is clearly incorrect ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-11 12:56:14] tony2001@php.net The docs clearly say: "You should be careful not to nest 'C' style comments, which can happen when commenting out large blocks."
