ID: 12925 User updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Status: Open Bug Type: COM related Operating System: W2K pro PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: In conversion.c: ...... case IS_STRING: var_arg->vt = VT_BSTR; unicode_str = php_char_to_OLECHAR(pval_arg->value.str.val, pval_arg->value.str.len, codepage); var_arg->bstrVal = SysAllocString(unicode_str); efree(unicode_str); ...... MSN document: BSTR SysAllocString(OLECHAR FAR* sz); Parameter : sz: a zero terminated string to copy. The sz parameter must be a unicode string in 32-bit applications, and an ANSI string in 16-bit applications. ...... What I did in my c++ file to send a binary string in c++ ...... char tmpbuf[] = {0x00,0x20,.....0x11}; BSTR SEF = SysAllocStringByteLen(NULL,sizeof(tmpbuf)); memcpy(SEF,tmpbuf, sizeof(tmpbuf)); ...... I can receive the binary string on the other end. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-27 11:53:32] [EMAIL PROTECTED] found the problem in conversion.c ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-23 11:02:50] [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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 this 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]
