Learning Objectives

By the end of this page you will know how to write comments with php code.

Comments

When you are working with comments you dont have to have a semicolon at the end of a line. Comments are jus text that don't get parsed or recognised by the browser and therefore wont be displayed.

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<?php
// This syntax is used to comment out a single line.

# This syntax is used to also comment out a single line.

/* This syntax is used to comment out a
block of code
that spans over multiple lines */

This also works well if you want to /* comment */ out a small part of code in a single line.
?>
</body>
</html>
