Question

i want to comment a code block, but i have a line in my javascript block which has jquery and php both

like this

jq('.time_slot').each(function(index) {
    var a = jq(this).autocomplete({ 
        serviceUrl:"<? echo $this->config->item('base_url'); ?>business/information/add/autocomplete",
        params: { suggessions_id:28767 }, //aditional parameters
        onSelect:function(value,data){ jq(this).trigger('change');  } 
    });
});

with out this line

      serviceUrl:"<? echo $this->config->item('base_url'); ?>business/information/add/autocomplete",

i can comment this block using

/*

*/

but now i can not use it , also i tried with single line comments , like this

//jq('.time_slot').each(function(index) {
    //var a = jq(this).autocomplete({ 
        //serviceUrl:"<? echo $this->config->item('base_url'); ?>business/information/add/autocomplete",
       // params: { suggessions_id:28767 }, //aditional parameters
       // onSelect:function(value,data){ jq(this).trigger('change');  } 
   // });
   // });

but for this line

 serviceUrl:"<? echo $this->config->item('base_url'); ?>business/information/add/autocomplete",

it is not working .

so i ended up with a very odinary solution like this

 //serviceUrl:"
<? //echo $this->config->item('base_url'); ?>
//business/information/add/autocomplete",

what is the best way to comment my code block , thank you in advance .

Ok, admittedly, this isn’t pretty, but if you want to cancel out the commingled PHP and JavaScript in one fell swoop, you might consider wrapping the entire block in a PHP condition that always returns false, e.g:

<?php if (1 == 0) { ?>
jq('.time_slot').each(function(index) {
    var a = jq(this).autocomplete({ 
        serviceUrl:"<? echo $this->config->item('base_url'); ?>business/information/add/autocomplete",
        params: { suggessions_id:28767 }, //aditional parameters
        onSelect:function(value,data){ jq(this).trigger('change');  } 
    });
});
<?php } ?>

Ugly, I know, but undeniably quick and effective for big blocks of mixed code.
