[PHP] COM and the PHP equivalent of ASP Currency data type

[Alex Bovey]

Hi all,

I am working with a COM interface and the specification which is wrtten for
ASP calls for a "Currency" data type to be passed to a function.  What is
the equivalent in PHP?

If I call com_print_typeinfo() I can see that the function has the following
info:

    function GetPrice(
        /* VT_PTR [26] [in][out] --> VT_VARIANT [12]  */ &$Account,
        /* VT_PTR [26] [in][out] --> VT_CY [6]  */ &$Quant,
        /* VT_PTR [26] [in][out] --> VT_I2 [2]  */ &$QuantMult,
        /* VT_PTR [26] [in][out] --> VT_I2 [2]  */ &$prMult
        )

The parameter I am having problems with parameter 2 - $Quant.

I tried to create a VARIANT of type VT_CY so I did:

$qty = new VARIANT('1.0000', VT_CY);

The error I am getting is:

Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Parameter 2: Type mismatch.


Thanks all,

Alex
