$ean = new COM("AsBarcode.Barcode");
echo($ean->LineWidth);
$ean->Release();
$ean = NULL;

If I comment out line 2, it works fine. If I uncomment line 2, I get a crash (null pointer in php4ts.dll) under Win98/PHP 4.3.1 and nothing (no crash, but php stops and gets terminated in 30 secs timeout) under win2k/PHP 4.2.

It doesn't happen with Word.Application that has only difference from AsBarcode.Barcode: it's not a control.

The code above works under PHP 4.0

Please email me if you have anything on this including my possible faults.

Thanks,
Eugene

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

For Windows:

I tested it with latest CVS version and got other error. Exception now happens, as Windows reports, in "unknown module". I started PHP from debugger and it seems like DllGetClassObject is not called.

Just tested with other object that had same problem before and it works ok. Will try to investigate further.

Here's the test results: DllGetClassObject is called ok, that was my fault. Object initialization is passed ok too. But, when execution comes to reading from property, PHP crashes before property is read.
I can supply you with the ActiveX I have, if you wish.

please mail it directly to me together with a short script that demonstrates that misbehaviour.

I emailed it a couple of days ago. Did you receive it?
 [2003-06-14 00:03 UTC] zstomp at yandex dot ru 
Anybody working on it?

Hello?

The com extension has been completely rewritten in PHP5 and the PHP4 com extension is no longer being maintained. If you find bugs with the com extension in PHP5 please report them.
