RE: [PHP-WIN] IIS and COM

Oops, wrong address, sorry.. Message from Alain Samoun alain@samoun.com You can try: http://www.samoun.com/alain/ultraedit/ I'm planning to update it as soon that PHP4.02 is released.

I have done ASP in the past and it seems to call the objects just fine. I have noticed however that I had 15 winword.exe's running in my process list without knowing it. I guess there is some strange permission I don't know about with IIS and COM. Can anyone help or has dealt with this in the past?
