PHP commenting is displaying as HTML comments in a pure php file

[sagisar1]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

• VS Code Version: 1.95.3
• OS Version: Windows 10

Hello, after updating vscode, when i try to do CTRL + / in order to comment a line in php file, it comments as HTML comments

instead of normal php comments
//

I have the built in extenstions enabled, and external extension PHP Debug by xdebug.org
Also I had php extension pack, disabled it, removed it, and the problem is still happening.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. open vs code
2. create a pure php file with extenstion .php
3. try to comment with CTRL +/
4. recieve HTML comments instead of php comments

this has always been the case

however there is a new bug
ctrl+/ toggle comment doesn't work after opening a blank php file for the first time
it used to work in 1.75.1, but broke in 1.76.0
