I am abslutly new in PHP and probably this is a very trivial question about how to correctly comment a line in a MySql query.

I have a query like this:

$query_hotel= "
    SELECT 
        hotel_name,
        hotel_id,
        room_id,
        ...................................
        ...................................
        ...................................
        FROM (
            ............................................
            ............................................
            )
            WHERE
                ...............................................
            HAVING
                //SUM(rate.price) BETWEEN ".$price_min." AND ".$price_max."
                SUM(rate.price) BETWEEN ".$min_price." AND ".$max_price."

    ................................................................................
    ................................................................................
    ................................................................................

So, as you can see in my code, I have to comment (to disable) this line:

//SUM(rate.price) BETWEEN ".$price_min." AND ".$price_max."

that have to be replaced by this line:

SUM(rate.price) BETWEEN ".$min_price." AND ".$max_price."

I am not sure that using the // at the line start it's correct. I also tried to do:

<!--SUM(rate.price) BETWEEN ".$price_min." AND ".$price_max."-->

but doing in this way my IDE (PHP Storm) is as disabled all but not the PHP variable.

So what is the correct way to do it without remove this line from my code? (I want to keep track of this changes and let it commented in my code)
