File::C...gin::PHP(3)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so this is File::Comments::Plugin::PHP — the manual page for it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and honestly? it does exactly what it says on the tin: it's the plugin that detects comments in PHP source code. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use File::Comments::Plugin::PHP;

that's it bestie, that's the whole vibe. one line. iconic. 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so File::Comments::Plugin::PHP is a plugin for the File::Comments framework. it's not out here doing its own thing, it's a team player. 🫶

and the way it works? it recognizes both styles of PHP comments:

• /* ... */ — the chunky block comment energy
• // — the lil one-liner

both. it sees both. no comment left behind fr fr. 💖

but lowkey… a lil warning: this is not a full-blown C parser/preprocessor yet. not even close. so it gets easily confused — for example, if C strings contain comment sequences, it'll just get the wrong idea. 😭 it's giving "trying its best" and we respect that, but don't come for it when it trips.
