Htaccess loader
<p>While following a php tutorial, i came across this snippet within the load.php file. It loads function, mysql connection via htaccess. What i cant make sense of is the first line and how php makes sense of it since it looks like it is commented out.</p>

<pre><code>&lt;!--?php &lt;br ?--&gt;/**
</code></pre>

<p>I would appreciate if anyone explain how to make sense of above line since i was not able to find explanation online regarding this.</p>

<pre><code>&lt;!--?php &lt;br ?--&gt;/**

// Load the configuration file
include("config.php");
// Load functions
include(INCLUDES_PATH."/functions.php");
include(INCLUDES_PATH."/appFunctions.php");
// Create a database connection
// We will add this in soon

</code></pre>
