Renegade is right, // for single line (or #) and /* */ for multi-line.

I thought it was // and /* */ to comment in PHP

do an echo of $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; to make sure the path has not changed. If it has, you can always do

$inc_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/includes/';
include($inc_path.'header.php');

the that are in the include, since the comment will ignore other it finds. Thus:

<--
something

another thing
-->

will hide 'something' and 'something else', but not 'another thing'

The issue probably had something to do with an update to PHP. I had some issues recently after an update with the DOCUMENT_ROOT directory not being defined. Another issue was caused by some register globals issues. It seems like there was an issue with includes not working properly as well.

Did you try it with the <?php tag? I doubt if it will make a difference though.

There are actually two issues. Before I commented it out, the include to a scipt was working fine but the script being called is what failed (even though it had worked fine for the past year up until recently). (The script is from cutephp.com) I do get an error message but it's not from the include, but from the script being called. If it matters the error is Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/pstvalu/public_html/news/inc/functions.inc.php on line 232' But the admin page (totally different page) also stopped working the exact same day. It just sounds ridicuouls to me that a script that's been working flawlessly for over a year would suddenly fail to function in multiple different pages, on multiple sites, all at once.

Now about the commenting, I know that 's and class tags to simplify my post. Since there was actually html around that include call and I wanted to hide the all of it, shouldn't the

What's the error you are getting? Is it something about basedir restriction?
