PHP Comments # vs //

Question

Lately I\'ve been using # instead of // for doing single line comments inside my Code. However, I see must of the people prefer //.

Answer 1

You can use #, but // is much more common. It is also the agreed upon Code Convention in PEAR.

Answer 2

I would only suggest you use // or /* */. As your programs grow you may wish to use a documentator like phpdoc to automate documentation for your program and most of these documentators as well as IDE's will only accept these two.
