This short block of PHP code takes a SQL script and removes the “dash-dash” and “/**/” comments from it. Of course, many languages, including PHP itself, use the “/**/” comment style so this could apply to PHP scripts, as well.
The line that removes the dash-dash style comments could easily be changed to the “//” (slash-slash) style.
Notice the use of percent-signs as delimiters to eliminate the need of escaping forward-slashes.
