    Installing something and it asks me to "comment out a line."

    what does that mean?

    thanks

    In CSS you need to use
    / * Comment goes in here */

    but with out the space between the first / and *

    This is the same as a comment block in PHP.

    It means that to prevent a particular line in the script from running, you need to turn it into a "comment". Script comments are not read by the processor, and mostly contain only information for people reading the script's source code.

    E.g. (in HTML)

    <P>And I really love this</P>
<!-- Comment out next line if you don't wish to tell people that you aren't normal -->
<P>I am a homosexual</P>
    Code (markup):
    If you follow the instructions:

    <P>And I really love this</P>
<!-- Comment out next line if you don't wish to tell people that you aren't normal -->
<!-- No way, I am not even a homosexual to BEGIN with! <P>I am a homosexual</P> -->
    Code (markup):
    The best part? You don't even have to worry much about which comment symbol to use for the different language: Just use the one which is used for the line that tells you to comment out other lines! (<!-- and --> in this case)
