PHP Support?

[robsmallridge]

Hello,

Do you have any plans to support extracting comments from PHP files?

Many thanks
Rob

Hi Rob,
I don't currently but I can add support in a few hours later tonight. I'll
look into it and get back to you.

hi @robsmallridge
I wrote a similar programme here](https://github.com/kelvintaywl/code_comment) which you can simply pip install code_comment, and it supports PHP if this is still an issue!

I mean no disrespect to the author of this repo! just wanted to highlight that i started creating a lib myself to make it easy to extend support for more languages.

PHP comments are similar to C-style, except they also support # style commenting. Was your intention to support both?

I just opened #31 for those still having this issue.
While its true that comments are basically the same as in C, PHP has the tags and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_document strings which need some pretty heavy regex.
