Doc #62623 [Com]: Class 'COM' not found

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62623&edit=1 ID: 62623 Comment by: David dot Gausmann at measX dot com Reported by: bugzilla33 at gmail dot com Summary: Class 'COM' not found Status: Open Type: Documentation Problem Package: COM related Operating System: win7 PHP Version: 5.4.5 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Today I stumbled over this bug, too. The first thing I did was it to look into the Installation/Requirements section of the COM help and found nothing. Then I got very angry and used Google; then I found this bug report. The next thing I thought was "Yes, it's still PHP." Since my update from 5.3 to 5.4 I've got many trouble, such as the different default parameter for htmlspecialchars, which destroys my ISO encoded data from the database (and you preferred solution to add the parameters to each call is insane). So, please fix (at least) this bug, as the described in the post previously to this one.

It'll still be delivered with the standard PHP release but must be enclosed with the "extension = php_com_dotnet.dll" directive in php.ini. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-07-20 20:30:20] bugzilla33 at gmail dot com This problem is on Apache 2.2.21.
