I just tried this. works for me, the comments are not displayed. even I use php5.1.4 with apache 2.2.0 on fc5.
give us more details on how you access and display it.

Thansk for the quick reply..

There is no error in compilation. i tried it for 3 times with fresh installation..and i have seen the same isue with Fedora core4 also.
i can give you more details if needed.....

try using a default installation of php and check if that works i.e. without the other options that you have inputted.
then we will be able to pin point the problem.

heey...

again i installed Fedora5 now i tested the same issue with default installation.

if i put "/*" comment no out put in browser when i complile it. this problem is there in default installation also.

Execute the below code and check the result
<?php
echo "No out put in browser";
/*
This is comment
*/
?>

what could be the solution for this???? help pleaseee

Thanks & Regards,
