Andrew -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php I used to use PHP+Windows+COM+Crystal Reports. I'm in the middle of something else, but a few things. Does the library you are using have a valid COM interface? Some of the .NET libraries simply don't. The last version of CR that was COM enabled was CR XI R 2. After that it was .NET and Java only. No COM. Having said that, I never got around to using http://uk1.php.net/manual/en/class.dotnet.php, so I don't know how this all worked. From memory the DOTNET layer of PHP was just a wrapper around COM and still required COM exposure in the lib. I think. Use a TypeLib Explorer to see exactly what interface is available - from memory, the right tool is all you need. I was able to code anything I needed with Crystal Reports. There is also a PHP function http://uk1.php.net/manual/en/function.com-load-typelib.php which I used to allow the various constants within the typelib to be exposed and usable within PHP. And also look at http://uk1.php.net/manual/en/function.com-print-typeinfo.php and the user notes.

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.

Re: [PHP] COM - Assigning to method.
Hello,
did you tried var_dump or print_r the $oBank object to see his structure ?
Also you can try:
$BANK_fld_BRANCH_NAME = 22;
$oBank-$BANK_fld_BRANCH_NAME = 'something';

PHP because it was always such a pain. The example you posted probably
used to require com_set() in PHP 4, although it looks like that has
been deprecated in favor of a more typical OO syntax in PHP 5. Is
there any chance there is a PHP version of the library that you can
work with to avoid COM? If not, hopefully what follows will help start
you on the right direction.
A more explicit version of your original VBScript example looks like this:
Set oBank = New CBank
oBank.Init Application.SessionContext
Set oField = oBank.Fields(BANK_fld_ACCOUNT_NAME)
oField.Value = Test account
Set oField = oBank.Fields(BANK_fld_ACCOUNT_NO)
oField.Value = 12345
Set oField = oBank.Fields(BANK_fld_BANK)
oField.Value = Bank of the Nation
Set oField = oBank.Fields(BANK_fld_BRANCH_NAME)
oField.Value = State Street Branch
oBank.Save
I'm not familiar with your CBank COM class, but the rest of it looks
like it is similar to the COM('ADODB.Recordset'). If so, a rough
translation of your original example should resemble this:
?php
// I'm not familiar with this object, so I'm guessing on the call to
instantiate it here.
$oBank = new COM('CBank');
/**
Application.SessionContext in the original refers to an object that is
global to every request in an application. PHP does not have such a
global registry, so I'm not sure where you're $config needs to come
from.
*/
$oBank-Init($config);
/**
I am assuming that BANK_fld_ACCOUNT_NAME and such are constant names
that were already defined with the names of the actual column names in
a recordset returned by $oBank.
*/
$oBank-Fields(BANK_fld_ACCOUNT_NAME)-Value = Test account;
$oBank-Fields(BANK_fld_ACCOUNT_NO)-Value = 12345;
$oBank-Fields(BANK_fld_BANK)-Value = Bank of the Nation;
$oBank-Fields(BANK_fld_BRANCH_NAME)-Value = State Street Branch;
$oBank-Save();
?
I don't know if you could leave out the -Value part of the syntax in
PHP like you can in the VBScript example you posted. If so, then
Richard's syntax would have been pretty

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.

[PHP] COM/DCOM
Hello,
I'm trying to write a few scripts to help automate some Windows
administration tasks. One of these is to add people to groups on
different networked machines.
I've written something like the following:
?php
$computer = TestComputer;
$groupName = TestGroup;
$server_config = array('Server' = TestComputer' , 'Username' =
'TestUser' , 'Password' = 'TestPass');
// list all current group members
$domainObject = new
COM(WinNT://.$computer./.$groupName.,group,$server_config) or
die(Cannot create COM object);
foreach ($domainObject-Members as $var)
{
echo $var-Name.br;
}
// add person to group
$usertoadd = APerson;
$domainUser = new
COM(WinNT://DOMAIN/.$usertoadd.,user,$server_config) or die(Cannot
create COM object );
$domainObject-Add($domainUser-ADsPath);
?
TestUser is a local administrative account on TestComputer.
If I run apache using the standard local system account, the code lists
the members of the group but refuses to add APerson. If I run apache
with a domain administrator account it works fine, but I don't want to
do this - I want to be able to pass the username and password of an
account on the target machine that has permissions set up for this
purpose.
I've tried making changes using dcomcnfg on the target machine, but no
luck so far.
Does anyone have any experience in using COM functions and can spot
anything I'm doing wrong or a misunderstanding in how it works?
Thanks,
Jon

[PHP] COM Help (hopefully)
We have a US postal database called ZP4 that we that we use to scrub
client addresses into something useful. For future projects we need to
expand on this scrubbing so that we can view counties and such. The
scrubbing is currently being performed by a custom application a
former employee wrote for us while he still worked here.
Unfortunately, he didn't commit the source of that application into
our SVN repository (bad). Sadly, I don't have C/C++ creation skills
worth relying upon.
What I found in ZP4 is a COM wrapper for the ZP4 DLL. From the
examples it should be simple to implement what I want, and this VB
code does work fine:
--- begin ---
Set ZP4 = CreateObject(zp4ipcom.zp4com)
ZP4.reset
ZP4.input Address, 2401 Utah avenue south
ZP4.input City, seattle
ZP4.input State, wa
ZP4.input ZIP, 98134
ZP4.correct
WScript.Echo ZP4.output(Error code)
WScript.Echo ZP4.output(Address (final))
WScript.Echo ZP4.output(City (final))
WScript.Echo ZP4.output(State (final))
WScript.Echo ZP4.output(ZIP (five-digit))
WScript.Echo ZP4.output(County name)
--- end ---
However, when I implement this code in PHP using COM all I get are errors:
?php
try
{
$zp4 = new com( 'zp4ipcom.zp4com' );
$zp4-reset();
$zp4-input( 'Address', '2401 Utah avenue south' );
$zp4-input( 'City', 'seattle' );
$zp4-input( 'State', 'wa' );
$zp4-input( 'ZIP', '98134' );
$zp4-correct();
echo( $zp4-output( 'Error code' ) . \n );
echo( $zp4-output( 'Address (final)' ) . \n );
echo( $zp4-output( 'City (final)' ) . \n );
echo( $zp4-output( 'State (final)' ) . \n );
echo( $zp4-output( 'ZIP (five-digit)' ) . \n );
echo( $zp4-output( 'County name' ) . \n );
}
catch( exception $e )
{
echo( $e . \n );
}
?
Results:
exception 'com_exception' with message 'Error [0x80020003] Member not found.
' in C:\Documents and Settings\adamr\Desktop\zp4.com.php:7
Stack trace:
#0 C:\Documents and Settings\adamr\Desktop\zp4.com.php(7): com-reset()
#1 {main}
I've tried everything I could think to get the above to work. If I
specify a member that I know is not in the ZP4 DLL I get a different
error. The Member not found error always seems to line up with the
procedures/functions defined in the ZP4IPCOM source.
ZP4 is a Windows only application. My development machine is running
PHP 5.2.6. I've done other COM related code with Word without any
troubles. I'm guessing that maybe the ZP4IPCOM interface itself is not
complete enough for PHP, or there is some bug that I'm missing. The
source for the ZP4IPCOM is provided with the ZP4 disk, but it's all in
Pascal and I'm not sure hot to either tweak or rebuild that (my VS
2005 doesn't seem to think much of it :)
While I could go with a VB solution for doing the address scrubbing, I
had wanted to set it up in PHP so that I could open one COM connection
to the DLL, and then via database burn through a large number of
addresses. If I had the skills I'd also rather just create an
extension for PHP itself that is a wrapper for the ZP4 DLL. If someone
is interested in building that for my company on commission I'd love
to discuss that with you.
If anyone wants to help me with this I'd greatly appreciate it.
Regards,
Adam.

[PHP] php COM example usage
Hi, I have some cli scripts that previously ran on Linux, now i have to make available on Linux. I use semaphores for synchronization. I also have to develop some new scripts for windows that interact other custom programs. I need to create and signale events. Basically what i need is acces to the win api. If i am not mistaking (i am not much of a windows kind of person) i cann acces this via COM. I have searched for other methods too, but i foudn thet the Com extension is the only trust worthy. Other extensions for windows like the win32api is experimental, i need a stable solution for this. I am now stuck on how to access the win api via COM if possible. I have found that something like $Object = new COM(WinNT://Semaphore); works, but takes a long time to complete, and after that i no idea how to go on from there. There is a callable create() function on the object, but it complains about arguments. where can i find information about thease com objects? Is the instantiation of a Com objects really that slow or am i doing somthing wrong? -- Alpar Torok
[PHP] COM and the PHP equivalent of ASP Currency data type
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.', VT_CY);
The error I am getting is:
Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Parameter 2: Type mismatch.
Thanks all,
Alex

i.e. use an 'int' rather than a 'float'
or maybe just
$qty = new VARIANT(1);

you might try catching the exception and see if it contains any more
useful info.

[PHP] COM and com_safearray_proxy objects
Hi all,
I'm trying to get my head around COM and interfaces and I'm making
slow progress but have hit a problem.
I have an IProduct interface and using com_print_typeinfo($iproduct) I
can see it has the following property (amongst others):
/* DISPID=1745027081 */
var $Description;
/* DISPID=1745027081 */
/* VT_BSTR [8] */
var $Description;
If I do var_dump($iproduct-Description) I get the following output:
object(com_safearray_proxy)#7 (0) {}
Now I have no idea what a com_safearray_proxy object is at all, and
googling it hardly produces any results so I can't imagine it's very
common.
Any ideas how I am to access that property in my code?
Thanks all,
Alex

[PHP] COM Objects
I am having some trouble instantiating a COM object, it seems to crash my web server every time I call the line. $tve=new COM(TVE3COM.TVE); I have downloaded a trial version of the Turbo Video Engine SDK and this was a line I got from the php examples folder. Is anyone familiar with this SDK? I ran the installer which I guess would install the files in the correct location. Or do I need to have the DLL's in the same directory? I am very new to all of this. Thanks again, Nathan
[PHP] COM object project
I am using a COM object from one of our system venders and I am having
problems using an in/out variable for one function on php 4.3.11. I can
load the COM interface, return the typeinfo and even call the function
successfully but I can't get a return value set for the variable. Here is
the code I am using:
$sessionid = (int) ;
$C1COM = com_load(ConceptCOM);
$val1 = $C1COM-OpenSession($sessionid);
echo val1: ; print_r($val1); echo br;
echo session: ; print_r($sessionid); echo br;
This prints:
val1: 1
session: 0
If I do the same thing using php 5 (just replace 'com_load' with 'new COM'),
I get the expected result with a valid sessionid. Here is the typeinfo for
the function:
/* DISPID=10 */
/* VT_I4 [3] */
function opensession(
/* VT_PTR [26] [in][out] -- VT_I4 [3] */ $sessionid
)
{
}
I've tried different type casts, passing a variant, and different ways of
calling the method; is there anything that I need to do to handle a VT_PTR
type or a variable defined as in and out? Other then updating to php 5, can
php 4 handle setting a method parameter within a COM object? The vender is
willing to make some updates if needed but I don't want to have to do a
major rewrite.
Thanks!

# written by Leonard Ritter ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

This sample implements a simple IE Button COM server
with access to the IWebBrowser2 interface.
To demonstrate:
* Execute this script to register the server.
* Open Pythonwin's Tools - Trace Collector Debugging Tool, so you can
see the output of 'print' statements in this demo.
* Open a new IE instance. The toolbar should have a new scissors icon,
with tooltip text IE Button - this is our new button - click it.
* Switch back to the Pythonwin window - you should see:
IOleCommandTarget::Exec called.
This is the button being clicked. Extending this to do something more
useful is left as an exercise.
Contribtions to this sample to make it a little friendlier welcome!

[PHP] COM Dlls not unbinding
Hi All,
I am doing a lot of PHP work with COM. The system uses php 4.3.3.3 and php is
being driven via FCGI from our own web server (TAG).
We create an instance of an in-process COM server using the following technique:
function GetFactory()
{
static $obj;
static $objSet = 0;
if($objSet==0)
{
$obj=new COM(TPN_Obj.JDCom_Factory);
$objSet=-1;
}
return $obj;
}
The returned COM object is then used as a factory to all our other COM objects.
The snag is that the binding to the COM dll is not being released at the end of
script execution. This is visible using ProcessExplorer from SysInternals.
If I call com_release the returned ref-count is zero. To ensure that php's
garbage collector was not the culprit, I tried repeatedly calling com_release
at the end of the script - no change.
The upshot of this issue is that each PHP process in the FCGI process pool
gradually gets bigger as more and more dlls are bound :-(
Any ideas are welcome; I have gone through the php source but cannot quite
figure the problem. Changing the C code is OK for our application.
Thanks!

[PHP] COM integration problems
Hi all,
I'm trying to interface with verisign's payflow pro on windows using
the COM workaround.
This code was originally taken from an example listed with the manual
as a workaound for the fact that the php pfpro functions are not
supported on windows. It worked for some time until the server was
upgraded to windows 2003 server. Now, all calls to instantiate a COM
object return the boolean value 'true'
$pfpro_client = new COM('PFProCOMControl.PFProCOMControl.1');
// this line outputs 'true'
echo $pfpro_client;
//Connect to Verisign via COM object...
// this line gives a call to a member function on a non object error
$pfpro_context =
$pfpro_client-CreateContext($this-getURL(), 443,
24,,0,,);
I've tried other COM objects like new
COM(InternetExplorer.Application) and it also returns 'true'. Other
tests of the pfpro install are sucessful (asp, pfpro.exe), so i
believe the payflow config is correct. It just seems like the php com
integration is screwed up.
Any ideas?
thanks,
jon

[PHP] COM works on NT but fails on 2003?
Hi all,
I currently have php 4.3.10 loaded on a windows 2003 server running
apache 2.0.52. PHP and the web server work fine. I've got the code
(that used to work on an old NT box running IIS and an earlier version
of PHP...I think 4.1 or 4.2??)
//.code
$excel = new COM(Excel.Application) or Die (Did not connect);
//Open the workbook that we want to use.
$book = $excel-Application-Workbooks-Open($reportPath.$rptName);
//more code
Again...that used to work on NT, but now I can't get it to work on 2003.
I believe the issue lies with the new COM() line, but it doesn't print
out the or die statement.
I've followed the article on this site (which is how I got this Excel
COM function to work with NT in the first place:
http://www.phpbuilder.net/columns/venkatesan20030501.php3]http://www.php
builder.net/columns/venkatesan20030501.php3
but perhaps this doesn't apply to the new win 2003 server?
I have the appropriate IUSR_MACHINE_Name user with Excel COM launch,
etc. permissions.
Any ideas? :idea:
Thanks.
EDIT:
some more info...
when i run this script...nothing happens. at least that i can see. I
look in the O/S event logs, nothing shows up there related to this. I
look in the apache logs...nothing on this.
This script was run via the cmd line on the NT box ( should be run by
cmd line on the 2003 box as well).
When I run the script (F:\somedirtheScript.php)...it pauses for about 2
seconds then just returns to the command line. I've got the php.ini file
set to display all errors turned on. still, nothing is displayed in the
cmd window.
So I run a basic test:
parse errror:
the code:
?
//**
//Create the spreadsheet object.
//**
$basePath = F:\\_jobs\\reports\\adhoc\\SomeReportDir\\;
$reportPath = $basePath.report\\SomeReport.xls;
$excel = new COM(Excel.Application) or Die (Did not connect);
if ($excel !=== FALSE) { //This is the error line?!?! I even tried
FALSE.
print Testing output.\n;
print $excel;
} else {
print Error;
die();
}
$book = $excel-Application-Workbooks-Open($reportPath.$rptName);
?
F:\_jobs\reports\scriptsexcel.php
PHP Parse error: parse error in F:\_jobs\reports\scripts\excel.php on

Content-type: text/html
br /

Why won't this work on windows 2003 server...or at least give me an
error that I can work with?
Thanks.
[PHP] COM Bug in PHP 4.3.10

[PHP] COM objects
Hi, I am running PHP 4.3.4 on Windows 2000 server with Apache 2.0.48. I am using COM objects in some of the pages. My question is, how do I release them when I'm done? Right now, I'm unsetting them, but after a few days I get COM+ Errors in the Event Viewer: The COM+ Services DLL (comsvcs.dll) was unable to load because allocation of thread local storage failed.

[PHP] COM Server Object Properties
I have a COM server that exposes a read/write property with a parameter.

[PHP] COM mail merge problem!
Hi,
I have a MySQL database which contains customer data. I have written a PHP
script to create a CSV file and then import the data into Microsoft excel
using COM, which has been saved into C:\TEMP\test.xls. I am now trying to
start a mail merge in word with the following code:-
com_load_typelib('Word.Application');
$word = new COM(word.application) or die(Unable to instantiate Word);
$word-Visible = 1;
$word-Documents-Add();
$word-ActiveDocument-MailMerge-MainDocumentType = wdFormLetters;
$word-ActiveDocument-MailMerge-OpenDataSource _(c:\\temp\\test.xls);
I only want to setup the mail merge up to the point where the user can start
selecting fields.
The problem is that after word opens it prompts me to select a table.
According to the Microsoft documentation this is because the SQLStatement
parameter has not been specified in the call to OpenDataSource.
I have created a empty variant data type as follows:-
$empty = new VARIANT();
and used it in the new call where
OpenDataSource
(c:\\temp\\test.xls,$empty,$empty,$empty,$empty,$empty,$empty,$empty,$empt
y,$empty,$empty,$empty,SELECT * FROM test$,$empty,$empty,$empty);
When I run the script I get the following error:
Warning: (null)(): Invoke() failed: Type mismatch. Argument: 17 in
c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\test6.php on line 93
I didn't think I had specified 17 arguments.
I have checked want data types OpenDataSource is expecting and according to
OLE/COM view it is expecting a BSTR followed by 15 optional variants.
I apologise if this seems like a stupid question but I've only been
programming in php for a couple of months. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Dave

RE: [PHP] COM
Is there some reason you want to access it through com?
I'm assuming that you've added the access db as an odbc data source? I'm not
sure, but it seems like you might be using the wrong syntax.
You might want to check out this:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.odbc.php
... or... this, which is a good example of how to use odbc in php:
http://php.weblogs.com/odbc
Also, is it giving you an error or just not returning results?

$word = new COM(word.application) or die(Unable to instanciate Word);
print Loaded Word, version {$word-Version}\n;
$word-Visible = 1;

[PHP] COM and type mismatch
Does anyone know the reason for the type mismatch error which often seems to happen when using COM objects? The only piece of info I've seen suggested that a COM object can't be passed as a variable to a second COM object. Is this true, and if it is how might this be worked around.

[PHP] COM objects
Can anyone tell me how this asp code would be rewritten in PHP, I'm having
trouble getting it to work. Don't worry about the variable names and stuff,
it's just the actual connection to the application that's causing me the
grief.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Skipsey.

Hi Arteaga, I have tested COM objects using PHP Version 4.0.4pl1 on Windows 2000 Server. The COM function mentioned here were implemented recently in PHP engine, so use this version of PHP or later.

Re: [PHP] COM?
Does Anyone know what needs to be installed on the server other than php
4.0.4 and IIS to instantiate COM Objects like Excel and word.
If Excel and Word are COM objects, that's pretty much it, I should think...
What magical incantation you have to type into:
$word = new COM("C:/path/to/word.exe???");
to make it work, I dunno.
PS Posting the same message multiple times doesn't help you much... Just
makes more noise.

[PHP] COM - get existing instance?
Is it possible to grab a running instance of for example Word?
In VisualBasic-words: can you use 'GetObject' instead of 'CreateObject'?
The latter is done by :
$word = new Com("Word.Application")
this creates a NEW instance, however i want to get an already running
instance. Possible?

Re: [PHP] Com
The COM construct was introduced in PHP4 as a replacement for com_* functions to provide something looking similar to MS's syntax AFAIK and it exists and works at least for me and many others. And it behaves more or less like a normal class.

Re: [PHP] Com
yes. it is all very clear to me now. however self-evident it appears to me
now, imagine my disconcertation when i was in ignorance!
this is so self-evident, it didn't need to be documented. Com shows up in
searches about launching external apps on the client, thus i was nefariously
misled by my eagerness and general enslavement to impending authorities.

Re: [PHP] RE: [PHP-WIN] Revised [PHP] COM and PHP
I tried with FALSE same error.
I also tried the following word example
?
$word = new COM("word.application") or die("Unable to instanciate Word");
print "Loaded Word, version {$word-Version}\n";
$word-Visible = 0;
$word-Documents-Add();
$word-Selection-TypeText("Testing, testing... 1,2,3");
$word-Documents[1]-SaveAs("Some.doc");
$word-Quit();
?
I get the following error
Loaded Word, version 9.0
Warning: Invoke() failed: No description available in
c:\Inetpub\wwwroot/temp2.php on line 5
Warning: Invoke() failed: Exception occurred. in
c:\Inetpub\wwwroot/temp2.php on line 7
That means that you don't have the com component installed on your machine
correctly...

This should be:
$cell = $worksheet-Cells(1, 1);
$cell-value = 1;
And it should work..
