Excel isn't closing when using COM

[Anon]

Hi all,

My PHP script is running on Apache 1.3.19 with PHP4. I am
successfully manipulating an Excel file using a PHP class (see below).

However, I can't close Excel application. It remains in the task list...
What did I forget in the quit() method ?

<?php

class ExcelSheet
{
var $comLink;
var $selectionPtr;

// Constructor
function ExcelSheet()
{
            $this->$comLink = new COM("Excel.sheet") or die ("Can't instantiate MS Excel");

	// return true
	return true;
}

function quit ()
{
	$this->$comLink->Application->Quit() or die ("Can't quit Excel !");
}

}

?>

Make sure you close the workbook(s) before calling quit (this is the C++ code for it):

// ...read cells...
objBook.Close(vFalse, VOptional, VOptional);
objApp.Quit();

BTW, if you want to transcode Excel or Word into HTML (and even update shared workbooks), check out this link - free Win32 PHP web server that happens to do this:
