Re: [PHP4BETA] Question about "#" comments

Thanks to those who replied. Some replies referred me to the manual, which I had in fact read just before posting and failed to understand. Arg. Next time I want to comment out a PHP-HTML-PHP transition, I'll use /* ... */. At 10:27 AM -0600 03-06-2000, Paul DuBois wrote:

4.0b5-dev I have the following script: <?php print "This should appear.\n"; # ?> This should not appear? # <?php print "This should appear.\n"; exit (); ?> Note the "#" comment on the third line. Should that line be treated as a comment? I would have thought so, but this is the output from the script: This should appear. This should not appear? # This should appear. It seems that the "?>" on the third line took precedence over the comment character.
