PHP & COM

[heejung]

hi all,

my question's regarding the COM functions in PHP.

in the function com_set, for example, one of the arguements is of the "mixed" datatype... can the arguement value be an array?

void com_set (resource com_object, string property, mixed value)

thanks!

i also noticed that com_load, com_invoke, com_release all result in fatal errors (i have the latest version of PHP running on Windows 2000). i managed to load my com object using "new com()" & set/get the com properties using com_set()/com_get()... but i can't invoke any methods in my com object.

i filed out a bug report... but was wondering if anyone else encountered problems w/ the COM functions.

thanks!

How on earth did you get the 'Set's working

yeah, i was stumped for a while too...

com_set doesn't work. you have to do this for example:

$word = new COM("word.application") or die("Unable to instanciate Word");
$word->Visible = 1;

good luck!
