I am having the same problem. I use com_load_typelib to load COM constants. The result of calling
com_load_typelib always returns true. However, the constants are defined on the first call and
undefined for each subsequent call to the page I am testing. This is true when I go away from the
page or switch browsers.
Apparently restarting the web server (Apache) resets the system state and I can see the constants
again, but on the first call only.
OS: Windows Server 2008
PHP Version: 5.2.6
In php.ini:
com.allow_dcom = true
com.autoregister_typelib = true
com.autoregister_casesensitive = false
com.autoregister_verbose = true

Description:
------------
com_load_typelib successfully loads a type library defintitions on its first call.
It fails on the second call, and the previous definitions disappear.
Other points:
First call holds a reference to the type library which does not get released until the web server
(Apache 2.2) is stopped. If you're creating define()'s, why do you need to hold a library
reference - you could load the types then release the references?
This behaviour is the same when php.ini contains 'com.autoregister_typelib=1', instead of
calling com_load_typelib.
Reproduce code:
---------------
This uses a private COM object, but if you want a copy it's no problem.
////////////////////////////
function test()
{
com_load_typelib('{8F387CCB-379F-4F13-9470-9D04DF3B04F8},1,0');
$domain = '';
$dns = 'some_user@domain.com';
$wincall = new COM('wincall.wincall');
$snu = $wincall->LookupAccount('', $dns, $domain);
echo 'SidTypeUser == ' . SidTypeUser . "<br />\r\n";
}
test();
/////////////////////////////
Run this script twice...
Expected result:
----------------
// first call of script:
SidTypeUser == 1
// second call of script:
SidTypeUser == 1
Actual result:
--------------
// first call of script:
SidTypeUser == 1
// second call of script:
SidTypeUser == SidTypeUser
