Remove PHP Comments

PHP supports three comment styles: // (line), # (line, shell-style), and /* ... */ (block). This tool strips them all while preserving strings, including single-quoted, double-quoted, and heredoc syntax.

Why remove PHP comments?

  • Smaller response size — less bandwidth per request.
  • Faster parsing — the PHP engine skips fewer tokens.
  • Privacy — no leftover developer notes in production.
