PHP Bug Type: COM related
Bug description: Can't instantiate VARIANT objects with VT_BYREF flag
Description:
------------
PHP crashes when instantiating a VARIANT object with the BYREF flag.
This makes it impossible to pass arguments to COM functions that require
them to be passed by reference (MS Word's PrintOut function, for example).
(Tested in PHP 5.2.8 and 5.2.9rc2).
Reproduce code:
---------------
$var = new VARIANT(TRUE, VT_BOOL|VT_BYREF);
Expected result:
----------------
Execution should continue, and I should be able to pass $var to a windows
com function:
EXAMPLE:
$word = new COM("Word.Application");
$word->Documents->Open("mydoc.doc");
$var = new VARIANT(TRUE, VT_BOOL|VT_BYREF);
$word->ActiveDocument->PrintOut($var);
Actual result:
--------------
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Variant
type conversion failed: Type mismatch.
' in D:\test.php:1
Stack trace:
#0 D:\test.php(1): variant->variant(true, 16395)
#1 {main}
thrown in D:\test.php on line 1
