Working with Variant Objects

[scrupul0us]

how do you purge them to see whats inside?

when i var_dump on the one im working with just says:

object(variant)#2 (0) { }

The only things a [man]VARIANT[/man] has are its type and its value. To figure out what the value means you need to look at its type and act accordingly.

this worked to dump the varient class object:

$objWMI = new COM("winmgmts://./root/cimv2");

$event = $objWMI->ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_NTEventlog Where LogFile='Application'");

echo '<pre>';
echo com_print_typeinfo($event);
echo '</pre>';

doesnt really help me get into anything beyond there though

COM is a bit more developed than VARIANT.... but ultimately, if you want to know what sort of interface a given COM object provides you need to look at the object's documentation.
