A normal statement is executed by the php server when it reaches that line. A comment is ignored and not executed by the php server. This mode also applies in other languages. So basically, comments are ignored by the compiling programming language. You mark a line as a comment with the // - for single line comments #- for single line comments too /* */ - for multi-line comments so when it sees this, it ignores the line . I hope you understand.
