Comments In PHP

In this article, we will discuss comments in PHP.

What Are Comments?

A comment is a line of code that is ignored by the compiler while compiling the code. There are 2 types of comments in PHP: -

Single-line comments
Multiline comments

Single Line Comments

Single-line comments are used to comment out a single line. A single-line comment can be written in 2 ways: -

Using hash (#)
Using double forward slash (//)

<html>

<head>
	<title> Hello World in PHP </title>
</head>

<body>
	<?php
        //	This is single line of comment
        # Also single line of comment can be used in this way
        ?>
</body>

</html>

Multiline Comments

Multiline comments are used to comment out multiple lines. A multiple-line comment starts with "/*" and ends with "*/".

<html>

<head>
	<title> Hello World in PHP </title>
</head>

<body>
	<?php
        /* This is multiline comment
		and this can be extended to multiple lines */
        ?>
</body>

</html>
