note 42115 added to function.com-load-typelib

In case any of you were wondering what com_load_typelib actually DOES, I have found that it loads constants\enums that the COM obeject has defined. The example below is using the Nero COM object (from Nero Burning rom, version 6+). The Nero object defines a bunch of constants, but they can not be used as PHP constants unless you use the mentioned function. So the example below will work just fine: <?php $aNero = new COM("Nero.Nero") or die ("Nero didn't load, too bad"); com_load_typelib("Nero.Nero"); $aNero->GetDrives(NERO_MEDIA_CD); ?> But this one will not, since PHP will return a message saying that the constant is undefined: <?php $aNero = new COM("Nero.Nero") or die ("Nero didn't load, too bad"); $aNero->GetDrives(NERO_MEDIA_CD); ?> This one took me a while to figure out, hope it helps. Also, check out http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.com.php to find out how to get COM events working in PHP. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.com-load-typelib.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+42115 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+42115&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+42115&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
