    I found this tutorial to be quite confusing and not very helpful . The explanation of writing a comment in PHP was hard to follow and the examples provided didn’t really clarify things for me. I wish the author had broken down the steps more clearly and provided more detailed explanations. I hope to find a better resource for learning PHP comments.
