#28736 [Opn]: Uncaught exception 'com_exception'

ID: 28736 Updated by: wez@php.net Reported By: andy at advancethermal dot com Status: Open Bug Type: COM related Operating System: WindowsXP PHP Version: 5CVS-2004-06-10 (dev) New Comment: bhobbs at itos dot uga dot edu: Please open a separate report for your issue; if you can, please determine the IDL for that COM object. (this might help: http://www.php.net/com_print_typeinfo) andy at advancethermal dot com: $creport->DiscardSavedData(); // method calls have () in PHP Marking this report as bogus since it contains no usable information about a PHP bug. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-06-15 14:28:34] bhobbs at itos dot uga dot edu I have also had this issue. Win2K Server Apache 2.0.49 PHP 5.0.0 RC3 $oMapDoc = new COM("Autodesk.MapWindowFile") or die("Unable to instantiate a MapWindowFile object"); ($bDATValidate) ? $oMapDoc->ValidateMwx = true : $oMapDoc->ValidateMwx = false; ($bDATCompress) ? $oMapDoc->CompressMlf = true : $oMapDoc->CompressMlf = false; $oMapDoc->ReadFromMwx($sMWXFilenam); ($sPermMWFFilenam = tempnam( $sOutputdir, "mlf_" )) ? true : die("Unable to generate an output file name"); unlink($sPermMWFFilenam); //It drops the temp file in place whether you use it or not.... $sPermMWFFilenam = str_replace(".tmp", ".mlf", $sPermMWFFilenam); //print($sPermMWFFilenam . " & " . $sGroupname . " & " . $sLayername); $oMapDoc->WriteToMlf($sPermMWFFilenam, $sGroupname, $sLayername); // <------This is the line that fails.... I'm not "me tooing" (I hope). The COM object in question is the Autodesk MapGuide Dynamic Authoring Toolkit. The call to instantiate, set a couple of properties and read a file work fine, but the call to create a new file (the WriteToMlf() call) fails with com_exception, source: unknown description: unknown. Catching the exception yeilds zero usable information. I tried casting the input values as VT_BSTR, VT_UNKNOWN and VT_VARIANT, but nothing worked. It should be noted that there is a similar method called WriteToMwf() that takes a single argument, and it works fine. While I'm at it, there's a method called WriteToMwfStream() that returns a binary array, but I can't get to it. Let me know and I'll see if I can dig up the idf for this thing.

For CrystalRunTime.Application, it is crashing with the following commands: $creport->DiscardSavedData; (in example below) $creport->ReadRecords(); $creport->Export(false); Reproduce code: --------------- $crapp = new COM("CrystalRunTime.Application"); $creport = $crapp->OpenReport("c:\\myweb\\reports\\myreport.rpt", 1); $creport->DiscardSavedData; Expected result: ---------------- (no failure expected) Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Error Member not found.
