Re: Include File Errors with Comments

Does PHP preprocess the file but treat the comments as text because I never said it was HTML?

I've not had it do that.

Would PHP comments have to be inside PHP tags?

Yes. If you use a php comment it has to be inside a php tag. One issue I have seen though is xml/xhtml files. php sometimes sees the <?xml and assumes it is a php start tag. I assume the appropriate thing to do is turn off short tags in your php.ini file - but unfortunately a lot of 3rd party classes and apps make heavy use of them.

Am I correct in having just a fragment of HTML in the included file without the entire HTML organization? I'd like to have comments in the file.

Use html comments and it should be fine - or put php tags around the comments.
