Bug #16828 Updated: Excel remains resident in memory after using it via PHP+COM

ID: 16828 Updated by: grangeway2@hotmail.com Reported By: scott@furt.com Status: Open Bug Type: COM related Operating System: Win 2000 PHP Version: 4.2.0 New Comment: I produced this with 4.1.1 and the shorter script of : $excel = new COM("Excel.Application"); $excel->application->DisplayAlerts = "False"; $excel->Quit(); $excel->Release(); $excel=null; In the current development cvs version ( 4.3.0-dev 26/04/02), once the script execution is complete excel appears to be closed correctly. (maybe http://cvs.php.net/co.php/php4/ext/com/com.h?r=1.11 was the cvs fix for this?) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-25 14:32:28] scott@furt.com When using Excel.Application via the COM interface with PHP version (4.1.2 and 4.2.0), EXCEL.EXE stays resident in memory after script execution. To verify this is not an Excel issue, i created two separate scripts that did the same thing; one in perl, and one in PHP. After execution of the perl script, no EXCEL.EXE is in the Task list; yet after execution of the PHP script, EXCEL.EXE is in the Task list. Some more info and test scripts are available at: http://www.furt.com/code/php/com_issues/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16828&edit=1
