PHP and COM issues with sessions

Thanks to all your help before on getting my COM to work. What I'm running into now is that the Processes will not end once I run a web page. Here is the following code I have been using: $xlfile = "c:\\webroot\\test.xls"; $excel = new COM("Excel.Application") or die("Unable to start Excel"); echo "Loaded Excel Version ($excel->Version)\n"; $excel->{'Visible'}=1; $workbook = $excel->Workbooks->Open($xlfile); $worksheet = $workbook->Worksheets(1); //$cellA1 = $worksheet->Range("A1")->('Value)'; //$cellB1 = $worksheet->Range("B1")->('Value'); $excel->ActiveWorkbook->Close(0); $excel->Quit(); I commented out two lines because I couldn't get them to work due to some parsing I have to figure out yet. By the time I'm finished testing a particular segment of code, I have 15 excel processes running and cannot shut them down. Has anyone else run into this situation and know more about COM? It doesn't seem very stable at this point.
