Adding a comment statement within PHP and html code?

[falconpilot]

I thought this would be an easy thing to figure out but boy was I wrong. All I am trying to do is add a simple comment or as we old basic programmers used to call it a REM statement inside the php code. Can someone tell me how to enter comment statement in both php and html. Thanks.

To do it within php just start the line with //

e.g.

 

// This is a comment

 

in amongst html bracket the comment with <!-- and //-->

<!--

This is a comment

//-->

And to span multiple lines (in PHP) you'd use:

 

 /*

this

is

a

comment

*/

I am also wondering if I could use the multi-line format as a one line comment to. For example:

 

/* This is a one line comment using multi line format */

 

Would this work?

 

Thanks again for your help.
