Status: Open
Bug Type: COM related
Operating System: Windows XP SP3
PHP Version: 5.2.10RC1
New Comment:
This functionality seems to work fine in the 5.3.0 rc builds ( PHP
5.3.0RC5-dev (cli) (built: Jun 27 2009 00:33:01) (DEBUG)).
The following script appears to work for me against most of the
capicom.utilities functions:
<?php
try {
$util = new COM('CAPICOM.Utilities.1');
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage() . "\n";
echo 'exception initialising com object... terminating...';
}
$string = 'foo';
$encoded = $util->Base64Encode($string); /* encoded string is \r\n
terminated */
echo $encoded . ' is base 64 encoded string:' . $util-
>Base64Decode($encoded) . "\n";
echo "\n\n";
$hex = $util->BinaryToHex($string);
echo "BinaryToHex: " . $util->BinaryToHex($string) . "\n";
echo "hextobinary: " . $util->HexToBinary($hex) . "\n";
define( 'CAPICOM_ENCODE_BASE64', 0 );
echo "Random Number: " . $util->GetRandom(10, CAPICOM_ENCODE_BASE64) .
"\n";
$variant = $util->BinaryStringToByteArray($string);
$i = 0;
foreach( $variant as $v) {
echo "Byte(" . $i++ . "): " . $v . "\n";
}
Outputing:
ZgBvAG8A
is base 64 encoded string:foo
BinaryToHex: 66006F006F00
hextobinary: foo
Random Number: PiMSnPtckiHFCQ==
Byte(0): 102
Byte(1): 0
Byte(2): 111
Byte(3): 0
Byte(4): 111
Byte(5): 0
----------------------------------
1) It might be worth trying a newer version of php
2) it might be worth checking that the com object is registered
correctly by attempting to access it from a vbscript

Description:
------------
In previous versions of PHP it was possible to create a COM object for
CAPICOM to generate random data. I'm not sure at what version it broke,
but now trying to instantiate the COM object, an exception is thrown
with the message "Failed to create COM object 'CAPICOM.Utilities.1':
Invalid syntax".
This behavior seem to be present on both 5.2.9-2 and 5.2.10RC1.
I've been unable to figure out what this error really means. The ProgID
I'm specifying is valid according to Microsoft -
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa388176(VS.85).aspx.
Any sort of direction would be useful in trying to solve this issue.
Reproduce code:
---------------
new COM('CAPICOM.Utilities.1');
Expected result:
----------------
A COM object that can be used.
Actual result:
--------------
An exception with the message:
Failed to create COM object 'CAPICOM.Utilities.1': Invalid syntax
