[PHPLIB-DEV] Comments in PHPLIB source code From: Adam N. Thompson, MCNE, MCSE (athompso <email protected>)
Date: 04/19/00

I was just thinking...
  Ulf/KK (not sure which) made a comment here about the fact that PHP3
takes a non-zero amount of time to process comments in source code - and
therefore having gobs and gobs of documentation embedded in the code was
a bad thing.

 Obviously, the counter argument is that the code is bloody near
impossible to decipher without some guidance - witness OOHforms for a
perfect example.

 Can we not ship a small script that, at the user's discretion, strips
comments out of the source files to speed up PHPLIB? Most of my servers
are ridiculously overpowered already, and those of us running PHPLIB
code on 386-class boxes (or really, really busy sites) could run one
script to speed it up...?

This seems too simple to be true, so what am I missing?
