The excel application is not brought to front. I try too many time and so many version of PHP, that's useless all. Therefore, I would kindly like a one of you to come to clearly specify(state) related software versions or tell me how to config their configurations. I have worked for this problem for a month, there is no progression on it. I have seen several bugs like mine but there is no explicit answer or solution to fix it. The related topic : Bug #11195 My current environment : MS-Windows XP SP.1 MS-Office XP SP.1 Apache 1.3 PHP 4.3.6 Browser : IE 5-6 Reproduce code: --------------- $CompletedFileName = "E:\\php_rtl\\Example.xls"; $ExcelCOMObj = new COM("Excel.Application"); $ExcelCOMObj->Application->Visible = true; $ExcelWorkBookObj = $ExcelCOMObj->Application->Workbooks->Open($CompletedFileName); $ExcelWorkSheetObj = $ExcelWorkBookObj->Worksheets(2); $ExcelWorkSheetObj->Activate; unset($ExcelWorkSheetObj); unset($ExcelWorkBookObj); unset($ExcelCOMObj); Expected result: ---------------- The excel application should be brought to front. Actual result: -------------- There is no excel application and no error. The excel process is alive in the Task Manager. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28045&edit=1
