how can I comment a line with php short echo tag?

Question

In my yii2 framework there are lots of line with php short echo tags <?=

for example:

<?= Html::a('Create Medicine', ['create'], ['class' => 'btn btn-success']) ?>
<?= $form->field($model, 'medicine_name')->textInput(['maxlength' => 50]) ?>

I couldn't make out an easy way to comment out this lines without first changing the opening tag. is there an easy way to this?

Thanks.

Answer 1

This should work for you:

<?= ""; stuff here ?>

Answer 2

I figure the easiest thing to do is replace <?= with <?php //, though it does change the opening tag...

for example

<?php //= Html::a('Create Medicine', ['create'], ['class' => 'btn btn-success']) ?>
<?php //= $form->field($model, 'medicine_name')->textInput(['maxlength' => 50]) ?>
