Re: COM issue, problems with return type.

imho, the best documentation of the COM functionality is done by the random people who post comments to the online documentation here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.com.php About the return value, it might be an array, or it might just be a reference to another COM object. Try this: echo $groups; If its an object or a reference, then you're only hope is to look at the COM documentation for Active Directory to see how one interates through group objects. If its anything like LDAP, its probably a big pointless convoluted mess.
