Make PHP “go away”

    As I’m working on testing different plugins and tags, there are times when I want the php tag or code line to “go away” when I generate the test page. I don’t want to delete it, I just want to comment it out. I’ve tried <!-- <?php thecode(true, false, true); ?> --> but that isn’t working.

    How do you hide PHP tags within a template file so they don’t “work” but not delete them?

    //

    the < ! — tag is an HTML comment…. to comment out PHP code, add // to the front of the PHP line.

    <!-- <?php //thecode(true, false, true); ?> -->
    OR to do an entire block /* */

    <!-- <?php /*thecode(true, false, true); */ ?> -->

    or
    <!– ?php thecode(true, false, true); ? –>

    Except that way, if you View Source, you would actualy see the PHP code, which maybe undesireable.

    You can leave off the html comment tags from TG’s post:

    <?php // thecode(true, false, true); ?>

    or

    <?php /* thecode(true, false, true); */ ?>

    Joni, that works great for CSS, but for testing plugins and different tags, hiding the PHP is critical.

    Thanks to everyone. This will really help!
