Please try using this CVS snapshot:

For Windows:

I've just comitted a probable fix; please try the next PHP snapshot (could be up to 3 hours away) and let me know how things go.

Hi Wez,

I installed the CVS version [5.0.0RC2-dev, 22 Apr 2004 08:32:53] and did the following tests:

### PHP Code ###
<?php
define("APPEND", 3);

$adsi = "cn=user,ou=test,dc=php,dc=net";
$user = new COM("LDAP://" . $adsi);

$arr = //See the test results!

$user -> PutEx(APPEND, "otherHomePhone", $arr);
$user -> SetInfo();
?>


### Test 1 ###
$arr = array("123", "456", "789");

PHP Warning:  Unknown: COM: converting from PHP array to VARIANT array; only arrays with numeric keys are allowed in C:\php\includes\test.php on line 9
Exception thrown
File        : C:\php\includes\test.php
Line        : 9
Message     : Source: Active Directory
Description: Unspecified error

Code        : -2147352567
TraceString :
#0 {main}

### Test 2 ###
$arr = array(0 => "123", 1 => "456", 2 => "789");

PHP Warning:  Unknown: COM: converting from PHP array to VARIANT array; only arrays with numeric keys are allowed in C:\php\includes\test.php on line 9
Exception thrown
File        : C:\php\includes\test.php
Line        : 9
Message     : Source: Active Directory
Description: Unspecified error

Code        : -2147352567
TraceString :
#0 {main}

As you see, both tests failed.
I hope these tests will help you.

Best regards,
Edwin.

My fix was too paranoid; I've updated it; please try the next snapshot.

I installed the CVS version [5.0.0RC2-dev, 23 Apr 2004 06:30] and did the following tests:

### PHP Code ###
<?php
define("APPEND", 3);

$adsi = "cn=user,ou=test,dc=php,dc=net";
$user = new COM("LDAP://" . $adsi);

$arr = array("123", "456", "789");

$user -> PutEx(APPEND, "otherHomePhone", $arr);
$user -> SetInfo();

$arr2 = $user -> GetEx("otherHomePhone");
?>

### Test 1 ###
$cnt = count($arr2);
for($i = 0; $i < $cnt; $i++) {
	print $arr[$i] . "\n";
}
//Only the 1st of 3 elements is printed
//count function results 1. wrong! 3 elements in array

### Test 2 ###
foreach($arr2 as $val) {
	print $val . "\n";
}
//All 3 elements are printed!

### Test 3 ###
print_r($arr2);
//Results: variant Object

The COM function PutEx on line 9 works fine!!! Active directory is updated with the correct values in array.
The COM function GetEx on line 12 has a small problem.
There's no array returned in the function, but an variant object.

What you describe now is expected behaviour; take a look
at http://www.zend.com/php5/articles/php5-dotnet.php for
more information on COM in PHP 5.

The only problem now is that count() doesn't return sensible values for overloaded objects; this is a general
issue and not COM specific (so it's a different bug).

I'll see what can be done about that.

Thanks for your support wez!
