Bug #15655 Updated: Variant type & COM objects

ID: 15655 Updated by: phanto@php.net Reported By: bartek@vemco.pl -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: COM related Operating System: WinNT SP6 PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: you shouldn't have to encapsulate the $recordset instance into a VARIANT() object as this is done by the com layer implicitely. the VARIANT() class is only necessary if you want multiple indirections (e.g. you want to pass a pointer to the instance instead of the instance itself). so passing $recordset to $object2 should be enough. harald ps: if you still have troubles please also test it with the cgi version to check if it is apache related or a general com issue.
