How to use a dll. COM object in php?

 

I dont know the correct syntax...

 

Never used one before..

 

so if the dll was somedll.dll

 

and how do i create a new instance of that dll?

 

thanks again everyone. 

[lemmin]

$c = new COM("somedll.dll") or die("Cannot start DLL");

 

There is a lot of information about the COM object here:

Does the DLL have to be in the same folder as the index.php file?

No, it must be registered on your system.

ok so now im confused, i called the dll, and i cant figure out how to create a new instance of it, and run a method.

 

here is what i have in asp.net c#, it works

 

UMRAcomLib.Umra _UMRA = new UMRAcomLib.Umra();

 

_UMRA.SetVariableText("%Customer_First_Name%", firstname);

_UMRA.SetVariableText("%Customer_Last_Name%", lastname);

_UMRA.SetVariableText("%Customer_Description%", description);

_UMRA.ExecuteProjectScript("COM_Add_User");

 

but how do i do that in php ?

 

here is what i have so far.

 

<?php
// UMRA Variables
$Your_UMRA_Server = "xxxxx"; // UMRA Server Name
$Your_UMRA_Port = "xxxx"; // Default is 56814
$Your_UMRA_DLL_Path = "dll/xxxxxx" //Path to your UMRA DLL
$Connection_Status = ""; // Connection to UMRA Status
?>

<?php

$UMRA_Object =new COM("$Your_UMRA_DLL_Path") or die("Cannot start word for you"); 

print "Loaded word version ($UMRA_Object->Version)\n"; 

$UMRA_Object->Umra->Connect("$Your_UMRA_Server",Your_UMRA_Port);

if($UMRA_Object->Umra->Connect != 0)
{
  $Connection_Status = "Not Connected";
}
else
{
  $Connection_Status = "Connected";

}


?>
