Preventing browser from commenting out php code html text editor

I am using a html/javascript rich text area (CKeditor: http://ckeditor.com), that allows users to format text using html... One feature is to wrap currently selected text in a <code> tag. However, it seams that the browser is commenting out php code before the textarea is posted.

Example: I enter the php code snippet:

<?php
echo "hello";
?>

Click on wrap code: enter image description here

And expect as output:

<code>
<?php
echo "hello";
?>
</code>

However, what is inserted in the editor (by javascript) is:

<code><--?php echo "hello"; ?--></code>

Could this be a browser issue? (javascript causes the browser to render the html in the textarea of ckeditor, but the browser does not recognize the php tag?)

According to the CK Editor Documentation you must have the Code Snippet plug in enabled:

The optional Code Snippet plugin allows you to insert rich code fragments and see a live preview with highlighted syntax. Its original implementation uses the highlight.js library, but the plugin exposes a convenient interface for hooking any other library, even a server-side one.

You should then include PHP as a supported language.
