Nesting Block Comments

[code green]

Has anybody got a trick for commenting out blocks of code that contain block comments.
This would be on a temporary basis and only used in degugging.

I vaguely remember doing something in 'C' that used dates and CONSTANTS
and was quite professional.

You could try using a heredoc string to comment it out...

Like:
[code=php]<?php
class foo {

private $name;

/**
* A constructor!
*/
public function __construct($na me) {
$this->name = $name;
}

/**
* Is it a bird? Or a plane?
*/
function bar() {
echo $this->oof();

$void <<< DEBUG
/** Commented out for debugging purposes! **/
}

/**
* This needs to be commented out
*/
function oof {
return "No! It's a {$this->name}!";
}
DEBUG;

} // To close the foo function while debugging
}
?> [/code]

the only thing I can think of is destroying the closing block comment tag. should be OK for debugging.
