How many types of comments are there in PHP?

There are two types of comments in PHP. They are
  1. One Line comments (// or #)
  2. Multiple Line comments (/* */)
The "one-line" comment styles only comment to the end of the line or the current block of PHP code, whichever comes first.
Eg:
      
     <?
      // echo 'Your code upto end of the line'; 
     ?>
     <?
     # echo 'Your code upto end of the line';  
     ?> 

Multiple Line comments (/* */) are used to comment a large block of PHP code.
Ex: <?
 /*
    echo 'This is a test';
    echo 'This is a test line2';
       echo 'This is a test line 3';
 */
?>
