Hi all,
I am working with a COM interface and the specification which is wrtten for
ASP calls for a "Currency" data type to be passed to a function. What is
the equivalent in PHP?
If I call com_print_typeinfo() I can see that the function has the following
info:
function GetPrice(
/* VT_PTR [26] [in][out] --> VT_VARIANT [12] */ &$Account,
/* VT_PTR [26] [in][out] --> VT_CY [6] */ &$Quant,
/* VT_PTR [26] [in][out] --> VT_I2 [2] */ &$QuantMult,
/* VT_PTR [26] [in][out] --> VT_I2 [2] */ &$prMult
)
The parameter I am having problems with parameter 2 - $Quant.
I tried to create a VARIANT of type VT_CY so I did:
$qty = new VARIANT('1.0000', VT_CY);
The error I am getting is:
Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Parameter 2: Type mismatch.
Thanks all,
Alex
