I cant think in any reason why this code fails...

Commented line shuldn't be completely ignored by the parser?

<?php

// ?> whatever

ehco 'bla bla';

?>


In the real case, I'm having problems commenting out regex expressions
such as

$res= preg_replace('#<\s*(p|span|li|ul|ol)\s+.*?>#si', '<\1>',$str);

While this doesn't work:
// $res= preg_replace('#<\s*(p|span|li|ul|ol)\s+.*?>#si', '<\1>',$str);

The following seems to be treated as expected

/*
$res= preg_replace('#<\s*(p|span|li|ul|ol)\s+.*?>#si', '<\1>',$str);
*/

Again, I can't see the reason of that parser's behavior...
