Hello,

I want connect to COM server, that publish data from some application. Script run forever, but application my be started or stoped.

If I try use following script, I cannot discover if invoking object method is succesful or not. Here is script:

$tag = new COM("FLINK.TAGOBJ") or die("Unable to instanciate Flink");
while (1) {
	$bool = $tag->bind("DATETIME"); 
	if ($bool === false){
		print "Bind failed\n";
	};

	$val = $tag->read; // This function return value from binded variable
	if ($val === false){
		print "Read failed\n";
	};

	print "Val: $val\n";
	sleep(1);
};
$tag->Release();
$tag = null;


Messages "* failed" is not reported, if application not run.

The following script run correctly:

$tag = com_load("FLINK.TAGOBJ") or die("Unable to instanciate Flink");

while (1) {
	$bool = com_invoke($tag, "bind", "DATETIME"); 
	if ($bool === false){
		print "Bind failed\n";
	};

	$val = com_invoke($tag, "read"); // This function return value from binded variable
	if ($val === false){
		print "Read failed\n";
	};

	$val = com_propget($tag, "read"); // This function return value from binded variable
	if ($val === false){
		print "Propget Read failed\n";
	};

	print "Val: $val\n";

	sleep(1);
};

com_release($tag);
$tag = null;

Is this feature or bug.

could you add 'var_dump($bool)' above the if's and send me the output please.
the functions should actually do the same thing as the oo api.

Diffrent is, that $comobj->xxx return NULL if fail, but
com_* return FALSE if fail.

------------------------------------------------------
Test1:
$tag = new COM("FLINK.TAGOBJ") or die("Unable to instanciate Flink");

while (1) {
	$bool = $tag->bind("DATETIME"); 
	var_dump($bool);
	if ($bool === false){
		print "Bind failed\n";
	};

	$val = $tag->read; // This function return value from binded variable
	var_dump($val);
	if ($val === false){
		print "Read failed\n";
	};

	print "Val: $val\n";
	sleep(1);
};
$tag->Release();
$tag = null;
--------------------------------------------------
Test1 output:

Test2:

while (1) {
	$bool = com_invoke($tag, "bind", "DATETIME"); 
	var_dump($bool);
	if ($bool === false){
		print "Bind failed\n";
	};

	$val = com_invoke($tag, "read"); // This function return value from binded variable
	var_dump($val);
	if ($val === false){
		print "Read failed\n";
	};

	$val = com_propget($tag, "read"); // This function return value from binded variable
	var_dump($val);
	if ($val === false){
		print "Propget Read failed\n";
	};

	print "Val: $val\n";

	sleep(1);
};

com_release($tag);
$tag = null;

now com_* and COM(..) should both return NULL in case of an error.
