A good tutorial is avaible here: > http://devzone.zend.com/node/view/id/762 > > --Pierre Normaly we use the Oracle-Core Version from Zend.com. Following a part of our phpinfo: com_dotnet COM support enabled DCOM support disabled .Net support not present in this build Directive Local Value Master Value com.allow_dcom 0 0 com.autoregister_casesensitive 1 1 com.autoregister_typelib 0 0 com.autoregister_verbose 0 0 com.code_page no value no value com.typelib_file no value no value So I think my testing-machine has com_dotnet support and - I hope - doesn't use the old COM. Was thoug code possible with the old COM? [...] 2 $comObjPi = new COM('PISDK.PISDK'); 3 $server = $comObjPi->Servers->Item("123.123.123.123"); 4 $server->Open("123.123.123.123;UID=foo;pwd=bar"); [...] Your post makes me a little bit concerned. I am not to 100% certain that the system realy uses only the new Com-System. Regards Oliver
