To properly diagnose the problem, we need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce this bug ourselves. A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>, is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates all necessary tables, stored procedures etc. Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-06-19 17:51:38] cmb@php.net This should likely have been $propriete->Value["Label"][0] = "New Label"; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-05-05 19:36:58] requinix@php.net Original report: Description: ------------ I've a problem with COM objects. It's very similar to the bug #33734. In fact, I think that it is the same problem but the bug is supposed to be fixed since 5.1.0. I use the 5.2.5 and have the same problem. Excuse me for my clumsy english, I hope that my report will be readable. Reproduce code: --------------- Here is the code : <?php // Creation of the COM object $obj_persist $obj_persist = new COM("PERSIST.PersistCtrl.1")or die("Error"); $obj_appli = $obj_persist->Applications->Add($path); $obj_unite = $obj_appli->Units->Add("foo"); $obj_instance = $obj_unite->objects->add($nom_instance); $sous_objet = $obj_instance->collection("Objects"); $propriete = $sous_objet->Item("alm"); echo "Label Value : " . $propriete->Value("Label",0); //Returns the good Value // Test 1 $propriete->Value("Label",0) = "New Label"; // Fatal Error //Test 2 $propriete->Value["Label",0] = "New Label"; // Invalid number of parameters. Expected result: ---------------- I've tried many ways of writing the $propriete->Value["Label",0]. With (), [], mix of both. I cannot write on the value. I though it was a read-only value but when I tried with VBa, it worked perfectly. Here is the code. Dim SsObjs as PrsCollObjects Set SsObjs = MyInst.Collection("Objects") Set MyObject = SsObjs.Item("Fault") MyObject.Value("Label", 0) = "Défaut pompe 1" Actual result: -------------- Result of TEST 1 with () : Fatal error: Can't use method return value in write context in C:\wamp\www\Test COM\index.php on line 71 Result of TEST 2 with [] : Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Error [0x8002000e] Nombre de param?tres non valide. ' in C:\wamp\www\Test COM\index.php:69 Stack trace: #0 C:\wamp\www\Test COM\index.php(69): unknown() #1 {main} thrown in C:\wamp\www\Test COM\index.php on line 69 Depending on the way I write with [], I also have an "Unexpected ','" error. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-05-05 19:36:11] requinix@php.net ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-02-27 09:34:27] hargael at gmail dot com Is there a way I can help in order to make this bug evolve ? I can provide any requested logs and can perform tests to help to solve this problem because I really need this feature. I'm not really keen on using an ASP page to make this single function. Regards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-07-08 12:46:07] spijoel at gmail dot com I have the same problem (Fatal error: Can't use method return value in write context in ...), with PHP 5.2.6 , Apache 2.2.9 , and Windows 2003 Server. I'm not able to do this: $obj->Attribute('data1') = "test"; This is also not working like this: $obj->Attribute['data1'] = "test"; and it's working in VBS so I know it should work here also. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
