Andrew -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php I used to use PHP+Windows+COM+Crystal Reports. I'm in the middle of something else, but a few things. Does the library you are using have a valid COM interface? Some of the .NET libraries simply don't. The last version of CR that was COM enabled was CR XI R 2. After that it was .NET and Java only. No COM. Having said that, I never got around to using http://uk1.php.net/manual/en/class.dotnet.php, so I don't know how this all worked. From memory the DOTNET layer of PHP was just a wrapper around COM and still required COM exposure in the lib. I think. Use a TypeLib Explorer to see exactly what interface is available - from memory, the right tool is all you need. I was able to code anything I needed with Crystal Reports. There is also a PHP function http://uk1.php.net/manual/en/function.com-load-typelib.php which I used to allow the various constants within the typelib to be exposed and usable within PHP. And also look at http://uk1.php.net/manual/en/function.com-print-typeinfo.php and the user notes.

That example isn't assigning values to method return value. Fields is a
collection of ADO Field objects. The default property of a Field object is
its Value property, so the shorthand is simply assigning the values of the
variables to the value of each field in a record within a Recordset.

$oBank-BANK_fld_ACCOUNT_NAME = Test account;

Hello,
did you tried var_dump or print_r the $oBank object to see his structure ?
Also you can try:

PHP because it was always such a pain. The example you posted probably
used to require com_set() in PHP 4, although it looks like that has
been deprecated in favor of a more typical OO syntax in PHP 5. Is
there any chance there is a PHP version of the library that you can
work with to avoid COM? If not, hopefully what follows will help start
you on the right direction.
A more explicit version of your original VBScript example looks like this:
Set oBank = New CBank
oBank.Init Application.SessionContext
Set oField = oBank.Fields(BANK_fld_ACCOUNT_NAME)
oField.Value = Test account
Set oField = oBank.Fields(BANK_fld_ACCOUNT_NO)
oField.Value = 12345
Set oField = oBank.Fields(BANK_fld_BANK)
oField.Value = Bank of the Nation
Set oField = oBank.Fields(BANK_fld_BRANCH_NAME)
oField.Value = State Street Branch
oBank.Save
I'm not familiar with your CBank COM class, but the rest of it looks
like it is similar to the COM('ADODB.Recordset'). If so, a rough
translation of your original example should resemble this:
?php
// I'm not familiar with this object, so I'm guessing on the call to
instantiate it here.
$oBank = new COM('CBank');
/**
Application.SessionContext in the original refers to an object that is
global to every request in an application. PHP does not have such a
global registry, so I'm not sure where you're $config needs to come
from.
*/
$oBank-Init($config);
/**
I am assuming that BANK_fld_ACCOUNT_NAME and such are constant names
that were already defined with the names of the actual column names in
a recordset returned by $oBank.
*/
$oBank-Fields(BANK_fld_ACCOUNT_NAME)-Value = Test account;
$oBank-Fields(BANK_fld_ACCOUNT_NO)-Value = 12345;
$oBank-Fields(BANK_fld_BANK)-Value = Bank of the Nation;
$oBank-Fields(BANK_fld_BRANCH_NAME)-Value = State Street Branch;
$oBank-Save();
?
I don't know if you could leave out the -Value part of the syntax in
PHP like you can in the VBScript example you posted. If so, then
Richard's syntax would have been pretty

/* VT_PTR [26] [in][out] -- VT_I2 [2] */ $prMult
)
The parameter I am having problems with parameter 2 - $Quant.
I tried to create a VARIANT of type VT_CY so I did:
$qty = new VARIANT('1.', VT_CY);
total guess work from me:
$qty = new VARIANT('1', VT_CY);
i.e. use an 'int' rather than a 'float'
or maybe just
$qty = new VARIANT(1);
The error I am getting is:
Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Parameter 2: Type mismatch.
you might try catching the exception and see if it contains any more
useful info.
Thanks all,
Alex

RE: [PHP] COM
Is there some reason you want to access it through com?
I'm assuming that you've added the access db as an odbc data source? I'm not
sure, but it seems like you might be using the wrong syntax.
You might want to check out this:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.odbc.php
... or... this, which is a good example of how to use odbc in php:
http://php.weblogs.com/odbc
Also, is it giving you an error or just not returning results?

Re: [PHP] Com
yes. it is all very clear to me now. however self-evident it appears to me
now, imagine my disconcertation when i was in ignorance!
this is so self-evident, it didn't need to be documented. Com shows up in
searches about launching external apps on the client, thus i was nefariously
misled by my eagerness and general enslavement to impending authorities.

Subject: [PHP] Com
"Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: com in
/var/www/html/version2/file.php on line 8"
is the result of running the following code:
?
$word=new COM("word.application") or die("Cannot start word");
print "Loaded word version ($word-Version)\n";
$word-visible =1 ;
?
Why?
