| server_name key | type | description |
|---|---|---|
| Server | string | The name of the server. |
| Username | string | The username to connect as. |
| Password | string | The password for Username. |
| Flags | integer | One or more of the following constants, logically OR'd together: CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, CLSCTX_INPROC_HANDLER, CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER, CLSCTX_REMOTE_SERVER, CLSCTX_SERVER and CLSCTX_ALL. The default value if not specified here is CLSCTX_SERVER if you also omit Server, or CLSCTX_REMOTE_SERVER if you do specify a server. You should consult the Microsoft documentation for CoCreateInstance for more information on the meaning of these constants; you will typically never have to use them. |
Specifies the codepage that is used to convert strings to unicode-strings and vice versa. The conversion is applied whenever a PHP string is passed as a parameter or returned from a method of this COM object. The code page is sticky in PHP 5, which means that it will propagate to objects and variants returned from the object.
Possible values are CP_ACP (use system default ANSI code page - the default if this parameter is omitted), CP_MACCP, CP_OEMCP, CP_SYMBOL, CP_THREAD_ACP (use codepage/locale set for the current executing thread), CP_UTF7 and CP_UTF8. You may also use the number for a given codepage; consult the Microsoft documentation for more details on codepages and their numeric values.
The returned object is an overloaded object, which means that PHP does not see any fixed methods as it does with regular classes; instead, any property or method accesses are passed through to COM.
Starting with PHP 5, PHP will automatically detect methods that accept parameters by reference, and will automatically convert regular PHP variables to a form that can be passed by reference. This means that you can call the method very naturally; you needn't go to any extra effort in your code.
In PHP 4, to pass parameters by reference you need to create an instance of the VARIANT class to wrap the byref parameters.
In PHP versions prior to 5, a number of not very pleasant hacks meant that the following method names were not passed through to COM and were handled directly by PHP. PHP 5 eliminates these things; read the details below to determine how to fix your scripts. These magic method names are case insensitive.
void COM::AddRef ( void )Artificially adds a reference count to the COM object.
| Warning |
You should never need to use this method. It exists as a logical complement to the Release() method below. |
Artificially removes a reference count from the COM object.
| Warning |
You should never need to use this method. Its existence in PHP is a bug designed to work around a bug that keeps COM objects running longer than they should. |
These pseudo methods are only available if com_isenum() returns TRUE, in which case, they hide any methods with the same names that might otherwise be provided by the COM object. These methods have all been eliminated in PHP 5, and you should use the Section called For Each in Reference XII, COM and .Net (Windows) instead.
variant COM::All ( void )Returns a variant representing a SafeArray that has 10 elements; each element will be an empty/null variant. This function was supposed to return an array containing all the elements from the iterator, but was never completed. Do not use.
variant COM::Next ( void )Returns a variant representing the next element available from the iterator, or FALSE when there are no more elements.
variant COM::Prev ( void )Returns a variant representing the previous element available from the iterator, or FALSE when there are no more elements.
void COM::Reset ( void )Rewinds the iterator back to the start.
