This is the new php5 COM module.
|
|
|
|
It is not 100% backwards compatible with PHP 4 ext/com, but you should not miss
|
|
the "features" that have not been retained.
|
|
|
|
This module exposes 3 classes: variant, com and dotnet(*).
|
|
com and dotnet classes are descendants of the variant class; the only
|
|
difference between the three are their constructors. Once instantiated, the
|
|
module doesn't make a distinction between them.
|
|
|
|
COM errrors are mapped to exceptions; you should protect your COM code using
|
|
the try..catch construct if you want to be able to handle error conditions.
|
|
|
|
Be warned that due to the way the ZE2 currently works, exceptions are only
|
|
"armed" at the time they are detected, but do not "detonate" until the end of
|
|
the statement. So, code like this:
|
|
|
|
$obj->foo[43]->bar();
|
|
|
|
Where the foo[43] access triggers an exception will continue to call the bar()
|
|
method on a null object and cause a fatal php error.
|
|
|
|
Default properties and array access:
|
|
|
|
$obj = new COM("...");
|
|
$obj[1]->foo();
|
|
|
|
The code above will use the type information for the object to determine its
|
|
default property and then access it. In PHP 4, it was hard-coded to use the
|
|
"Items" member, which was wrong.
|
|
|
|
The default property will also be used by the casting support to determine the
|
|
value for the object.
|
|
|
|
Variants:
|
|
|
|
This implementation of COM takes a simpler approach than the PHP 4 version;
|
|
we only map a few native types to COM and vice-versa, leaving the more complex
|
|
things as variants. This allows greater consistency of data when passing
|
|
parameters to and from COM objects (no data will be lost). In addition, a
|
|
large number of the variant API has been mapped to PHP space so that you can
|
|
use it for working with the special variant decimal, currency and date time
|
|
types. This could be used as a replacement for the bcmath extension, for
|
|
example.
|
|
|
|
You can use the new object casting hook to for a php-native representation of
|
|
a variant object:
|
|
|
|
$a = new variant(4);
|
|
$b = new variant(6);
|
|
$c = variant_add($a, $b);
|
|
echo $c; // outputs 10 as a string, instead of Object
|
|
|
|
Sample Script:
|
|
|
|
<?php
|
|
$word = new COM("word.application");
|
|
print "Loaded Word, version {$word->Version}\n";
|
|
$word->Visible = 1;
|
|
$word->Documents->Add();
|
|
$word->Selection->TypeText("This is a test...");
|
|
$word->Documents[1]->SaveAs("Useless test.doc");
|
|
$word->Quit();
|
|
?>
|
|
|

* dotnet support requires that you have the mscoree.h header from the .net sdk
|
|
when you build the module.
