Com Object Driving me NUTS

[Anon]

Well i found a Com object that I can use to acces and read the registry but i cant get it to work. Its gotta be syntax but i dunno.
It has asp samples but no php ones..

If someone knows how i can use php to access a SUbkey in the registry and read the usernames listed in it so i can make sure they arent taken before i let a new user create a new one i would be very happy.

I can post the Attemped php code if someone needs to see it.. Thanks.

as i am trying to convert this asp script in my quest for teh ability to deal with teh registry i get an error in this line.

$temp=$env."TEMP";
In asp it looks like
temp = env & "TEMP"

So it seems to look good but i get a parse error. ANy ideas?

Okay I figured out the First problem It was the \ being escaped. Now i need ot figure out the rest of this first section.

Example script below

<?
// Get various values
$env="HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment\";
$temp=$env."TEMP";
$tmp=$env."tmp";

// Get a string value
$tempDir=$Reg.$Get[$temp];

// Get and expand the same string value
$tempDirExpand=$Reg.$GetExpand[$temp];

?>

<p>
Your temporary directory is <% = tempDir %> (<% = tempDirExpand %>).<br>
It just SHows () to be the temp dir, where as the asp version shows
Your temporary directory is %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp (C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Local Settings\Temp

Thanks for any assistance
