From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: W2K pro PHP version: 4.0.6 PHP Bug Type: COM related Bug description: PHP could not pass binary string to COM Here is the PHP code. $bp = new COM("AG2.Beepoj") or die("Unable to instanciate"); $bp-> beeeep(101,"\x0\x0\xff"); unset($bp); The other end is a COM object, the beeeep method defined as STDMETHODIMP Cbeepoj::Beeeep(int iDuration, BSTR b_str) { AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState()) // TODO: Add your implementation code here ::Beep(523,iDuration); if(wcslen(b_str)!=0) AfxMessageBox((CString)b_str); else AfxMessageBox("null string."); return S_OK; } If I use $bp-> beeeep(101,"111111"); I will get 111111 displayed in a message box. However, If the input is $bp-> beeeep(101,"\x0\x0\xff"); The COM will say it is a null string. -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=12925&edit=1 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
