Question

I have never, ever, seen a PHP file using hashes (#) for commenting. But today I realized that I actually can! I\'m assuming there\'s a reason why everybody uses

If you establish some rule sets in your team / project... the 2 types of comments can be used to outline the purpose of the commented code.

For example I like to use # to mute / disable config settings, sub functions and in general a piece of code that is useful or important, but is just currently disabled.
