Comments in PHP

Comments in PHP

PHP Supports single line comments as well multi-line comments.

PHP Single line comments

double back slash  //

//This is my first program in PHP

$name="shyam benegal"; //Name can contain only alphabets .this is single line comment

another example:

$city="new York";//This is my home town $zip=10027
in above line "This is home my home tow $zip=10027" will be taken as single line comment.

you never get value of $zip.

PHP Multiline comments

/*

            This is multi line comments

             in PHP file

*/  

PHP runtime interpreter ignores these lines.  Comments are meant for understanding program functionality. i.e details about each function etc.,
