micmania1 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Hi, I'm trying to learn how to user Crystal Reports with PHP but i'm having trouble getting started. Here's some code i pinched off the net: <?php $crapp = new COM ("CrystalRuntime.Application") or die ("Error onload"); ?> My Error: Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Failed to create COM object `CrystalRuntime.Application': The specified module could not be found. ' in D:\xampp\htdocs\crystal.php:2 Stack trace: #0 D:\xampp\htdocs\crystal.php(2): com->com('CrystalRuntime....') #1 {main} thrown in D:\xampp\htdocs\crystal.php on line 2 Does anybody know what module i'm missing or if i'm doing something wrong? Do I need crystal on the server or the users computer? I've never worked with COM before. The version of crystal we use is 9. Thank you for reading.

Adam Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 You'd need it installed on the server. PHP is a server-side programming language, which means it can only communicate with the server and not the user.
