Bug #14334 Updated: Bug in COM class

ID: 14334 Comment by: wloske@yahoo.de Old Reported By: wshs_chat@yahoo.com Reported By: wloske@yahoo.de Status: Open Bug Type: COM related Operating System: Windows 2000 Professional PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: I am having the same problem which is a bit stranger though. One time my call is correct while done in another place produces php_OLECHAR_to_char error message. Working: $pdflib = new COM("PDFlib_com.PDF"); print $pdflib->get_parameter("version",0); Prints version string as expected. Not working: $pdflib = new COM("PDFlib_com.PDF"); print $pdflib->set_parameter("fontwarning",1); print $pdflib->get_parameter("version",0); Produces error message for the get_parameter line and "0" (true !!! in php for PDFlib, -1 is false) for the fontwarning line. Also, to make it even stranger, at least to me: When I switch the line in the non-working example, I both get the version string and "0" for the fontwarning Is there something wrong about the way I connect to PDFLib ?

The WinampCOM.Application com requires a winamp module, which can be found at http://www.adcock8.freeserve.co.uk/gen_com.zip If any more info is needed, please don't hesitate to ask. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-06 15:07:09] wshs_chat@yahoo.com If you mean php code, here goes: - $instance = new COM("WinampCOM.Application"); $title = $instance->CurrentSongTitle; - The $title line will produce the error if run via the httpd, but not if pasted in the stdin of php.exe.

This error is only returned when the script is run from the httpd. IIS, Apache, and Xitami, all return this error. When I use the script via pasting it to stdin on php.exe, it runs perfectly. The script returns no errors from the stdin. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=14334&edit=1
