   This should be pretty easy. In HTML you can leave yourself notes in the code with

   <!-- notes -->

   What is the PHP equivalent? I feel like I've seen // or /* but I'm not sure what works or how to end it exactly. And search-engine searches for // or <!-- or /* aren't giving me answers.

   Thank you!

   // comments out to the end of the line
   /* starts a multiline comment
   */ ends a multiline comment

   Searching for anything besides alphanumeric characters is frustrating, but searching for 'PHP comment' will get you exactly what you want.

   /* Comment */

   Is the same method used in CSS.

   I generally use the single line approach myself..
   

   // Comment

   You know, you could of opened any number of WordPress files to find this out, the config file would have been an easy one (wp-config.php).

   t31os_, right, I suppose I could have just opened a file and looked.

   But I got nice commentary on the differences between them from apljdi (single line vs. mutli-line) and some good links from whooami that will make my eyes bleed from reading. :-)

   Thank you everyone for the quick and helpful replies.

   just to add for completion, there's also

   #comment
   which is equivalent to
   //comment
   in php
