The "#" and "//" methods of commenting do not appear to be working on a Windows 2000 server.

Example:
------------------------------------------
# Comment
$var = "a statement";

// Comment
$var2 = "another statement";
------------------------------------------

The above example resulted in the comments and the comment characters being printed to the browser window.

The /* comment */ method appears to work fine, however.

The only environmental change to the server was upgrading to PHP v.4.0.5 and this error does not occur on our Linux servers.
