Answer 1

There are many options to consider:

• You can use some find and replace function of your IDE that supports regular expression, or a php program using preg_replace: see Regex to strip phpdoc multiline comment
• You can use tokenizer or other PHP library for processing source code processing: see Best way to automatically remove comments from PHP code
• You can use php -w to remove comments and whitespaces and then a PHP formatter in your IDE to produce readable code.
