Re: Re: [Gallery-devel] [PHP-QA] Bug in COM support in PHP 5.2.0 RC5

Yes :-) I just wanted to gauge whether it was a critical bug; it is (see my other mail regarding variants). --Wez. On Sep 28, 2006, at 5:46 PM, Hannes Magnusson wrote:

that check is redundant in PHP 5; if the object couldn't be created, an exception will be thrown.

Redundant or not, it's still a bug :) -Hannes

I originally found the problem like this: // Connect to database $dbc = new COM(...); // Check that it was successful if (! $dbc) { ...}; We then reduced it to that one single line just for

simplification.

com, variant and dotnet objects are all the same really. The question is, why are you comparing them with bool in the first place? --Wez. On Sep 28, 2006, at 4:40 PM, Larry Menard wrote:

Hi folks. I believe I've found a bug in PHP 5.2.0 RC5. When I

try to

perform boolean operation against an object of type COM, I

get an

error that it cannot be converted to boolean.

Simplest repro script: <?php $dbc = new COM ("WinNT://Domain"); var_dump(bool($dbc)); ?> Error produced is: Catchable fatal error: Object of class com could not be

converted to boolean

This is expected behaviour, which was (will be) introduced in

5.2.

Hm, I'm probably wrong. Objects cannot be converted to int, but they should be always

equal to (bool)true.
