Bug description: passing classes as a parameter
Description:
------------
I'm trying to pass a COM class into a member function of another COM class
object. The second object chokes.
One class is the connection with the database.
The second is something that needs to connect.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$Conn = new COM("some.Conn");
$Conn->Connect( 'database', 'user', 'pass');
// this object is works fine.
$Customer = new COM("some.Customer");
$Customer->Connect( $Conn ); // KLABAM!
Expected result:
----------------
I'd expect the $Customer->Connect() function to accept the $Conn as being
a "Conn" object and just connect.
Actual result:
--------------
"Error number: 97
Error description: Can not call friend function on object which is not an
instance of defining class"
This error comes from the object.
The Customer->Connect function calls a friend function to do something
with the Conn object. This function does not believe the object is a
living Conn object and spittes it out.
The whole thing works perfectly in C, VC++, VB, Jscript, VBscript (ASP)
and Delphi.
I've called the company that made the DLL, and they think the Conn object
I pass isn't a real Conn object, but a simulation / emulation. Or a "COM"
object of course.
I've tried converting it to a more MS-like thing with the VARIANT class,
but it doesn't seem to do much good. (type mismatch)
So is this a PHP problem, or didn't the ones who made the DLL read the COM
specifications too well?
