[ILUG] Recursively Remove Comments

[Conor Mac Aoidh]

Hi,

Can anyone recommend me a command to recursively remove comments from files?
The comments are in the format of:

*/*
 * blah
 * blah
 */*

Specifically from PHP files. This is the command I was trying, but for some
reason it is doing the exact opposite of what I wanted and removing all
content except for the comments:
*
find . -type f -name "*.php" | while read file; do sed -e '/*/d' $file >
$file; done*

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks
