RE: [PHP4BETA] Win32 COM

For things that are properties you must use the $gen->name = "foo" syntax, rather than $gen->name("foo") syntax. The first is more normal, but the second should work also. The situation is retreiving the value. Similar problem. Thanx.

PHP's understanding of the VARIANT type is currently very limited. I only coded it far enough so that you could automate Microsoft Word to load and manipulate documents a bit, I didn't go over all of the possible data types. It still needs to be done. What kind of problems did you solve? Zeev
