Hi Guys/Gals,
I'm doing some integration work with a COM API and according to their
documentation to save data in the API, you have to assign to the
method.
This is their example in Visual Basic:
-
Set oBank = New CBank
oBank.Init Application.SessionContext
With oBank
.Fields(BANK_fld_ACCOUNT_NAME) = Test account
.Fields(BANK_fld_ACCOUNT_NO) = 12345
.Fields(BANK_fld_BANK) = Bank of the Nation
.Fields(BANK_fld_BRANCH_NAME) = State Street Branch
End With
oBank.Save

Obviously in PHP is isn't possible to assign to a method in this way
(thats what parameters are for!) So I'm at a bit of a loose end. I'm
wondering if anyone else has come across this? Or am I missing
something obvious in PHP's implementation of the COM that allows me to
work around this?
My PHP Code is looks like this:
-
$API = new COM('API7.API');
$API-Init($SerialNo, $Login, '', 1, '', 1);
$API-SignOutOnTerminate = True;
$Record = new COM(Data.Record);
$Record-Init($API-SessionContext);
$Record-Fields('BANK_fld_ACCOUNT_NAME') = 'Test Account';//doesn't work
-
I've also tried (below) but the API says wrong number of parameters
$Record-Fields('BANK_fld_ACCOUNT_NAME', 'Test Account');
I've also tried something crazy like this (below) but that overwrites
the $Record object.
$_R = $Record-Fields('BANK_fld_ACCOUNT_NAME');
$_R = 'Test Account';
Any ideas? Is it possible?
Many Thanks
Adam Nicholls
That example isn't assigning values to method return value. Fields is a
collection of ADO Field objects. The default property of a Field object is
its Value property, so the shorthand is simply assigning the values of the
variables to the value of each field in a record within a Recordset.

So ..
$oBank-BANK_fld_ACCOUNT_NAME = Test account;
sort of thing.
