PHP Comments:
Most of the popular languages (C, C++, Unix) uses same kind of comments, single line (//) and more than one line comments (/* */) and along with these Unix like comment '#' is also supported by PHP.
Single line comments ( // ) is used to make a single line or a block inactive. Similarly the task of # is the same.
Double line or multiple line comments are used when large block is to be commented.
Example:
<?php
//This is a single comment
#This is Unix style comment
/*
* This
* is
* Multiple
* line
* comment
*/
?>
Note: Since the above example has only comments, no output will be generated
