Index Server ASP to PHP

Anon

Please help me. I used asp2php to convert the query.asp file that came with IIS into a PHP file. I cleaned it up a bit, read as much as I could of what other people have done, and now I've got a query.php file which does everything fine execept that it shows results for documents that don't exist on my server any more. If I do the same query with my query.asp file, I get the results I expect.

I can go line by line through the two files, and the code is equilivant! Is there some variable that contained in the .htx or .idq file which normally gets passed to the index server during a query but isn't if I use PHP?

I would be happy to post any of my code if that would help, but I suspect I'm just missing something...

Just a guess, but you may need to call a clearstatcache() after you're done with each file.

Well, I'm not using any of the functions that clearstatcache() affects, but I tried putting it in anyway and it didn't work. 🙁

I think that there is something I'm not passing in my query to the index server. The .asp page says it found 65 results and the .php page says it found 128. Even if I was able to filter out the bad results from being displayed on the page, I'm still getting two fundamently different result sets.

I'd love to email you the php and asp files so you could fiddle around with them, but I don't want to take up too much of your time.

OK, I've figured out what's wrong in my script, but I still need your help. Here's what's happening:

$Q = new COM("ixsso.Query");
$util = new COM("ixsso.Util");

$util->AddScopeToQuery($Q, "\", "deep");

That last line generates a type mismatch error, but if I can get it to work then my script will return the correct results. Any ideas? Should I be using &$Q or something?
