I have the following RegEx to remove commentary from a PHP file:
%/\*.*?\*/%s

The side effect is, that on use of glob like glob($basedir . '/*') it starts removing everything midcode…

    Try this :

    %[^'"]{1}/\*.*?\*/[^'"]{1}%s
    

    It include not simple or double quote before /* and after */
