Commenting PHP Code

PDT allows you to quickly and easily comment and uncomment code by selecting a line or a block of text and tagging it as a comment.

Comments can be added to single lines of code ( Ctrl + / ) or blocks of code ( Ctrl + Shift + /).

In addition, special PHPDocBlock comments can also be added. See "Commenting PHP DocBlocks" for more information.
