 * This is a really basic question, but here goes.
    I need to “Comment Out” something
   on one of my php files. What are the proper beginning and ending symbols to do
   this? I tried a couple, they didn’t work.

 * A comment can begin with `//` for a single line or use
    `/* */` for bigger blocks
   of text.
 *     ```
       /*
       Big Block
       Of Text
        */
       ```
