note 58679 added to language.basic-syntax.comments

If you want to comment out large sections of code (temporarily, usually and hopefully), consider using <?php if (0) { print("This code is 'commented' out"); } ?> instead of /* comment block */. Otherwise, as noted here, you will have parse errors if the block that you commented out contains */ somewhere, like in regexp or in another comment. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.comments.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+58679 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58679&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58679&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58679&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58679&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58679&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58679&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58679&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+58679&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
