How to hide code in php

[nicknick]

okay this is a stupid question but im stuggling .

/* is in css

but what is it in php ?

[woofwoof]

//this is a single line comment
#this is also a comment

/*
And this is a multi line comment
*/

These are called comments. There are two types in PHP.

Single-line comments:

# This is a comment
// ...and another

Or multiple-line comments:

/*
Here is some text blah blah
and some more
blah
here
*/

:)

[edit]
beaten to it ;)

Also if for some weird reason you don't like to use new lines, you can embed a comment into a line by doing:

$expression = /*Why would you ever do this?*/ 'help me';
