From: zelnaga at gmail dot com Operating system: Windows XP PHP version: 5.3.1 PHP Bug Type: COM related Bug description: static dotnet classes can't be called
Description: ------------ $test = new DOTNET('mscorlib', 'System.IO.File'); That yields a "Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Failed to instantiate .Net object [CreateInstance] [0x80131513] '" error. Per the comments on php.net/class.dotnet, I thought this might work, instead, but it doesn't: $test = new DOTNET('mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089, processorArchitecture=x86', 'System.IO.File'); The example on php.net, however, does work: $test = new DOTNET('mscorlib', 'System.Collections.Stack'); I think what the problem really is is this: System.IO.File is a static class. It's not intended to be instantiated whereas System.Collections.Stack is. In light of this, I think either the ability to call methods within static dotnet classes ought to be added or, failing that, a note should be added to the documentation stating that only instantiatable classes can be used with the DOTNET object. Reproduce code: --------------- $test = new DOTNET('mscorlib', 'System.IO.File'); Expected result: ---------------- (nothing) Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Failed to instantiate .Net object [CreateInstance] [0x80131513] ' in C:\path\to\test.php:3 Stack trace: #0 C:\path\to\test.php(3): dotnet->dotnet('mscorlib, Versi...
