Re: Calling DLL from PHP

The 'extension' option tells PHP that the dll has been compiled to be a PHP-specific library... you should not do this if you are simply trying to run a dll as a COM object. To do that, you need to register the COM object as normal, and follow the instructions here (Italian): http://www.php.net/manual/it/ref.com.php http://www.php.net/manual/it/class.com.php Also, you will need to delete these lines from your php.ini file: extension=Visqwin.dll extension=Wvqprint.dll If you dont know much about COM, Id suggest getting a good book in Italian, because there is simply too much to talk about here... but this link could get you started (English): http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/040300-1.shtml -- Brian 'Bex' Huff bex@stellent.com Phone: 952-903-2023 Fax: 952-829-5424 Pozzer Franco wrote: > Brian, > sorry if I trouble you and thanks for read my msg.
