ID: 29973 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: tetikr at spytech dot cz -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: COM related Operating System: Win2000 PHP Version: 5.0.1 New Comment: What is the full error message? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-03 19:08:58] tetikr at spytech dot cz Description: ------------ Comparing COM object variable with NULL throws an exception Reproduce code: --------------- $a = new COM(.....); if (!$a) { ...... } else { ..... } Expected result: ---------------- If $a is non null, I expect the ELSE block to be performed. Actual result: -------------- PHP throws an exception when trying to evaluate !$a. I think it tries to access the default COM object's property. If this is a valid behavior, how should I test for null? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29973&edit=1
