calling a W32 COM object from Linux

Anon

Hi all,

We're running a linux/apache/php4/mysql box but I want to incorporate a COM object within scripts running on this box. We have a W32 server which I can set the .dll up on.

Does anyone know of a way to instantiate a remote COM object over HTTP from within a script, or would I need to write an ASP wrapper to this object (there is no PHP on the W32 box) so the call & return can be passed over HTTP?

Any ideas please?

Thanks in advance. Alex

Hi all.
I was wondering if anyone could make / customize a Content Managment System or Portal for TechCritique pro bono. We would like something which could manage reviews and articles, as they are seen here, http://www.techcritique.com/articles/
http://www.techcritique.com/reviews/
In PHP with/without MySQL (which ever is easier for the developer).

Thanks,
Andrew
