AW: [PHP-WIN] com_load_typelib()

What do you need the typelib for ? I suggest you try the example in the doc of com_load_typelib, just comment out the call to this particular function and smile. (Background: com_load_typelib apparently does not attach to a running instance, so you get orphans en masse.) Generally you have to quit COM server objects with its respective method. For MS Word this is Application.Quit ($word->Quit in PHP when the instance was created using $word = new COM('Word.Application'); But for just using a COM object with the known vocabulary you never need to call com_load_typelib. This call is used by IDEs to show the interface to the user so (s)he can learn the possibilities (Object browser or similar). -- Sven > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Mark Hammond [SMTP:mhammond@collus.com] > Gesendet am: Donnerstag, 6.
