com_load_typelib error on code ported from windows to apache-linux

[jimgrot]

With what, if at all do we replace the com_load_typelib function that is available for php on a windows node when we port that code to a Linux server?

 

one site provides the following:

com_load_typelib

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.7, PHP 5)

com_load_typelib — Loads a Typelib

 

another site gives this:

com_load_typelib

(4.1.0 - 4.3.2 only)

com_load_typelib -- Loads a Typelib

 

yet another site says:

COM functions are only available for the Windows version of PHP.

 

The above snippets seem to show contradictory takes on PHP performance with com_load_typelib.

 

Does PHP5 (or any php version) for Apache can handle the com_load_typelib function?

Our current windows system has php on one server talking to MSMQ on another windows server and using the com_load_type function to set that up.

Ultimately we want to have Apache/2.2.6 running PHP5 read/write to MSMQ on a windows 2003 server.

 

Any information concerning the use of com_load_typelib with Apache-php or concerning an equivalent function that handles a similar need is much appreciated.
