Bug description: get_class problem with COM objects
Description:
------------
Anomaly: get_class returns "com" with InternetExplorer and Excel COM
objects. But with other COM objects it returns "variant". This seems
inconsistent to me.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$ie = new COM("InternetExplorer.Application");
$ie->Navigate2 ("about:blank");
while ($ie->readyState<4) {
com_message_pump(200); }
$doc = $ie->document;
$body = $doc->body;
$excel = new COM("Excel.Application");
$wb = $excel->workbooks->add();
$aCom = array(ie, doc, body, excel, wb);
foreach ($aCom as $comObj)
print "$comObj: " . gettype($$comObj) .
" => " . get_class($$comObj) . "\n";
?>
Expected result:
----------------
ie: com => IWebBrowser2
doc: com => HTMLDocument
body: com => HTMLBody
excel: com => Application
wb: com => Workbook
or
ie: object => com:IWebBrowser2
doc: object => com:HTMLDocument
body: object => com:HTMLBody
excel: object => com:Application
wb: object => com:Workbook
or at a bare minimum
ie: object => com
doc: object => com
body: object => com
excel: object => com
wb: object => com
To be specific: I am advocating that gettype() on a com object return
"com". More importantly, get_class on a COM object should return
consistently: either always "com", or "com:" followed by the typename, or
(my preference) simply the typename.
Typename here refers to the VB typename function (or use my typeName
function found on http://php.net/com_print_typeinfo)

Actual result:
--------------
ie: object => com
doc: object => variant
body: object => variant
excel: object => com
wb: object => variant
