mhash error for commenting in PHP

I have faced an error while running a php file on command line. I was getting the below error:

PHP Deprecated: Comments starting with '#' are deprecated in /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/mhash.ini on line 1 in Unknown on line 0

I googled it and found a solution for this error. Now mhash has been removed, so, it is no longer a required feature.
I run the below command:

sudo dpkg -P php5-mhash

It solved the error.
