Title

What’s the best way to remove comments from a PHP file? I want to do something similar to strip-whitespace() - but it shouldn't remove the line breaks as well. For example, I want this: <?PHP // something if ($whatsit) { do_something(); # we do something here echo '<html>Some embedded HTML</html>'; } /* another long comment */ some_more_code(); ?> to become: <?PHP if ($whatsit) { do_something(); echo '<html>Some embedded HTML</html>'; } some_more_code(); ?> (Although if the empty lines remain where comments are removed, that wouldn't be OK.) It may not be possible, because of the requirement to preserve embedded HTML - that’s what’s tripped up the things that have come up on Google.
