Note Submitter: mst_NO_SPAM_TO_ME at mstsoft dot com ---- This "comment ends on line break or end of PHP Block" thing can be confusing. I discovered this by accident when working with XML Output from PHP... <?PHP header("Content-type: text/xml"); /* echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>"; echo "<page>multi-line comments work as expected.</page>"; */ //echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>"; //echo "<page>single-line comments end php mode and output your code.</page>"; ?> I would expect the comment to work, but there is no parsing in comments so the String suddenly becomes a PHP end-block tag, which is correct reading this documentation. cheers, martin PS: You even see the behavior in the Syntax highlighting :-)
