/* and */ appears to work:
<?php
/*
echo "hello world";
?>
HTML
<?php
*/
echo "bye";
?>
That'll just display "bye"... You just have to start the comment in PHP mode
and end it in PHP mode. Any breaking out of PHP mode to display HTML will be
commented out.
If you have mostly HTML with some PHP thrown in that you want to comment
out, HTML comments will work, also, so long as you start the comment in HTML
mode and end it in HTML mode, like this:
HTML
<!--
HTML
<?php echo "hi"; ?>
HTML
-->
HTML
Which will just display "HTML" twice. The center part is commented out.
