I setup COM support as specified in the PHP help files. I load my test page, but I get an unknown exception error, that doesn't help me at all? Winword.exe gets executed, but then php.exe quits and I have to force the process to close. Anyone know what I can do to fix this? I am using
Apache 2.0.47 and
PHP Version 5.0.0b2-dev.
Is there something special I need to setup in Apache? It seems as though I just needed to change php.ini and change some COM/DCOM options to get it to work?
PARTIAL CONTENTS OF PHP.INI:
[com]
;com.typelib_file =
com.allow_dcom = 1
com.autoregister_typelib = 1
com.autoregister_casesensitive = 0
com.autoregister_verbose = 1
DISPLAY IN BROWSER:
