Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system
is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.
Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Ok you are right...
You said -> The long answer is that atm we cannot support the ()=
syntax and offer
the []= as an alternative
But why this code doesn't work with PHP 5.1.0b3 & The lastest CVS
5.1.0Dev...it works for PHP 5.0.4
<?php
try{
$com=new COM("Automation_Users");//My Company ActiveX
$index=$com->IndexOf($user);
$target=$com->Items[$index];//return user object
$target->Password="password";
$com->Items[$index]=$target;//to update user's information
unset($com);
}catch(Exception $exp){
echo $exp->getMessage();
}
?>
At line >> $target=$com->Items[$index];
Error is >> [0x8002000e] Invalid number of parameters.
Any idea ?

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to
report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php
The short answer is PHP is different from ASP.
The long answer is that atm we cannot support the ()= syntax and offer
the []= as an alternative.

Description:
------------
I found something strange with COM Object but I'm not sure.
My System
- Windows 2000-2003 Server & XP Pro sp2
- IIS ISAPI
- PHP 5.0.4 & 5.1.0b3 & 5.1.0Dev-200507170630
My code...
<?php
try{
$com=new COM("Automation_Users");//My Company ActiveX
$index=$com->IndexOf($user);
$target=$com->Items($index);//return user object
$target->Password="password";
$com->Items($index)=$target;//to update user's information
unset($com);
}catch(Exception $exp){
echo $exp->getMessage();
}
?>
The problem is at the line -> $com->Items($index)=$target;
- PHP 5.0.4
$com->Items($index)=$target;
Error -> Fatal error: Can't use method return value in write context in
D:\Project\PHP\Project\functions.php on line 580
I don't know why because this works fine with ASP
I changed the code to...
$com->Items[$index]=$target;
It works ! I don't understand why it works ?
I never used [] to pass parameter with any COM object.
- PHP 5.1.0b3 & 5.1.0Dev doesn't work any way both ($index) [$index]
$com->Items($index)=$target;
Error -> Fatal error: Can't use method return value in write context in
D:\Project\PHP\Project\functions.php on line 580
$com->Items[$index]=$target;
Error -> [0x8002000e] Invalid number of parameters.
This made me confuse -"-
---------------------------------------
I'm not sure this is a bug of my company's activeX or PHP
If you need more information please tell me.
Thank you.
