C++ comments When PHP encounters two slash characters (//) within the code, everything from the slashes to the end of the line or the end of the section of code, whichever comes first, is considered a comment. This method of commenting is derived from C++. The result is the same as the shell comment style. Here are the shell-style comment examples, rewritten to use C++ comments: //////////////////////// // Cookie functions //////////////////////// if ($double_check) { // create an HTML form requesting that the user confirm the action echo confirmation_form( ); } $value = $p * exp($r * $t); // calculate compounded interest Then another Then another 4 C comments While shell- and C++-style comments are useful for annotating code or making short notes, longer comments require a different style. As such, PHP supports block comments, whose syntax comes from the C programming language. When PHP encounters a slash followed by an asterisk (/*), everything after that until it encounters an asterisk followed by a slash (*/) is considered a comment. This kind of comment, unlike those shown earlier, can span multiple lines. Here’s an example of a C-style multiline comment: /* In this section, we take a bunch of variables and assign numbers to them. There is no real reason to do this, we're just having fun. */ $a = 1; $b = 2; $c = 3; $d = 4; Because C-style comments have specific start and end markers, you can tightly integrate them with code. This tends to make your code harder to read, though, so it is frowned upon: /* These comments can be mixed with code too, see? */ $e = 5; /* This works just fine. */ C-style comments, unlike the other types, continue past end markers. For example: Some stuff you want to be HTML. 20 | Chapter 2: Language Basics This is the Title of the Book, eMatter Edition Copyright © 2002 O’Reilly & Associates, Inc. All rights reserved.
*/ echo("l=$l m=$m n=$n\n"); ?> Now this is regular HTML... l=12 m=13 n= Now this is regular HTML... You can indent, or not indent, comments as you like: /* There are no special indenting or spacing rules that have to be followed, either. */ C-style comments can be useful for disabling sections of code. In the following example, we’ve disabled the second and third statements by including them in a block comment. To enable the code, all we have to do is remove the comment markers: $f = 6; /* $g = 7; # This is a different style of comment $h = 8; */ However, you have to be careful not to attempt to nest block comments: $i = 9; /* $j = 10; /* This is a comment */ $k = 11; Here is some comment text. */ In this case, PHP tries (and fails) to execute the (non-)statement Here is some comment text and returns an error. Literals A literal is a data value that appears directly in a program. The following are all literals in PHP: 2001 0xFE 1.4142 "Hello World" 'Hi' true null Identifiers An identifier is simply a name. In PHP, identifiers are used to name variables, functions, constants, and classes.
