Adding Comments

Zend Studio 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 Adding PHP DocBlock Comments for more information.

The following procedures describe how to comment and uncomment lines and blocks of code.
