Using COM/ActiveX/OLE Whatever

[Tracer]

Below is a snippet for accessing Palm Pilot Address Books written in VB.NET 2003. From my Understanding, you should be able to do this using PHP's COM functions, but I have been unable to figure it out. I know how to do this in VB, but would rather use PHP as I have to manipulate a lot of Data before I enter it into a MySQL DB. (Plus I like PHP a whole lot more than V😎

The PalmOS Conduit COM API is available at

If anyone has anyideas on how to use the COM fxns, and want to help me convert this VB snippet, I would be willing to part with my First Born child....

'   Declare the PDDatabaseQuery object
        Dim pdQuery As New PDDirectLib.PDDatabaseQuery

        pAddr = pdQuery.OpenRecordDatabase("AddressDB", "PDStandard.PDAddressDbHHRecordAdapter", PDDirectLib.EAccessModes.eRead Or PDDirectLib.EAccessModes.eWrite Or PDDirectLib.EAccessModes.eShowSecret)

        xRecords = 0


    pAddr.IterationIndex = 0

    Dim pAddressRecord As PDStandardLib.PDAddressDbHHRecord
    pAddressRecord = pAddr.ReadNext()

    Do While Not pAddr.EOF
 xRecords = xRecords + 1

        pAddressRecord = pAddr.ReadNext()
