From: sharonlp at hotmail dot com Operating system: Windows XP PHP version: 5.1.2 PHP Bug Type: COM related Bug description: Cant set COM properties
Description: ------------ I am using PHP 5.1.2 on Apache 2.0. In my PHP code I am trying to set a COM OLE poprerty: $simcase->ObjectValue($inobj1, $inpropname1,"",$inunits1)=$inval1; ($simcase is a COM object) Using: echo $simcase->ObjectValue($inobj1, $inpropname1,"",$inunits1); works fine. Expected result: ---------------- I expected the method to execute and set the property without any problem. According to the type library what I have written is perfectly legal and works with VBScript etc. HRESULT ObjectValue([in] IDispatch* object, [in] BSTR variable, [in,optional] BSTR subVariable, [in,optional] BSTR units, [out, retval] double* value); [helpstring("Sets"),propput,helpcontext(NO_HELP_PANEL)] HRESULT ObjectValue([in] IDispatch* object, [in] BSTR variable, [in,optional] BSTR subVariable, [in,optional] BSTR units, [in] double value); [helpstring("Gets"),propget,helpcontext(NO_HELP_PANEL)] Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Can't use method return value in write context... With com_set being gone, I cant find any work around. I also found a comment somewhere saying "we cant support ()= so we have "[]=". But what do you do if your property also takes arguments? -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36979&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36979&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36979&r=trysnapshot51 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36979&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36979&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36979&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36979&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36979&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36979&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36979&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36979&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36979&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36979&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36979&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36979&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36979&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36979&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36979&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36979&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36979&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36979&r=mysqlcfg
