PHP how to make comments

Learn how to add comments to your PHP code with an easy-to-follow example.

Comments in PHP

Comments are lines of text in a file that are not read or executed by the server and are used to explain what is happening in the code. This is useful for developers to remember what the code does and for others to understand the code better.

In PHP, comments can be written with both double forward slashes (//) and a hash symbol (#). For example:

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

It is also possible to write a multiple line comment with /* */ like this:

/* This is a 
   multiple line comment */

Comments are an essential part of coding in any language, as they can help explain what the code is doing and make it easier for others to understand it. It is also important to keep the comments up to date with the code, as they can become outdated if not maintained.
