Re: Word instance not closing after call to $word->Quit()

just my luck.. I have same problem i wish to build like yours.. but eventualy.. i found a better one.. *still not a better i want i create the file using HTML and then i put header as word ^^ Sascha Meyer wrote:

Good morning to you, one of my scripts creates a winword COM reference, creates a new document, appends data and saves the file to disk; works like a charm, but the word instance remains after the script has finished. To test this issue, I created the following minimalistic script: [CODE] <?php $word = new COM("word.application") or die("Unable to instantiate Word"); $word->Quit(); try {

        // If not caugt, a fatal exception is thrown because "Release()" is not defined
        // Means, I could also skip this line ...

$word->Release(); } catch (Exception $ex){ } $word = null; unset($word); ?> [/CODE] The word instance is created fine, the script ends without errors, but the WINWORD.EXE remains in the task manager for eternity ... Any ideas how to fix this? My setup: * Windows 2003 Server * PHP 5.2.5.5 * Word 2003 Thanks in advance! Regards, Sascha
