Making notes in a PHP file

[leeandrew]

I've seen notes in files along the way and just usually deleted them.

 

I have a file right now thats getting kind of clogged and messy, it'd be great if i could put some 'invisible notes' in it a various points so i can keyword search them to save time.

 

I've seen a method like this work...

 

// write your note here

But i cant get it to work within echo statements

 

Are there any other note codes i can try

[cunoodle2]

Those "notes" are usually reffered to as "comments"  I'm not exactly sure what you mean by invisible notes but you can also use any of the following syntax..

 

// use this to comment out one line

####  These also work and stand out a little

 

/* or you can do this and

comment

out a

few lines

at a time */

 

Does that help?

You can't put comments in an echo statement. That's sent as-is.

 

ex;

 

echo "This is a test //Hidden stuffs!";

 

That's printed out directly.

 

echo "This is a test <!-- Hidden Stuffs! -->";

 

Would be the proper way to "hide" it in the browser. See the above post for putting comments inside the code itself.
