<p>I have some very, very simple php code.</p>

<pre><code>&lt;html&gt;
    &lt;head&gt;
        &lt;title&gt;Something&lt;/title&gt;
    &lt;/head&gt;
    &lt;body&gt;
        &lt;h2&gt;Something&lt;/h2&gt;


        &lt;?php
            $val = $_POST['a'];
            echo 'Value: ' . $val . '&lt;br /&gt;;
        ?&gt;
    &lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>When I press the submit button in an form I've made, the browser comments out the php code like this:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;!--?php
     //the stuff i do above
?--&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Anyone knows what this is?</p>
