Description:
------------
When instantiating a new COM object PHP produces no output. Reproduce code given. PHP running with binaries from binary distributions available on www.php.net; No extensions activated.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
	echo "init phase\r\n";

        $rst = new COM("ADODB.Recordset") or die("fail");

        $rst->Open("SELECT * FROM sysdatabases",
                "Data Source=localhost;User Id=sa;Password=sa;" .
                "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Initial Catalog=master");
                   

        echo "got my rst successfully";
?>


Expected result:
----------------
Version 4.3.8 placed in the same directory (C:\php\php.exe) wrote this to the stdout when passing the file to the interpreter via command line prompt. This is the behaviour I do expect the interpreter to write to stdout.

got my rst successfully
</snap>

Actual result:
--------------
No output to stdout with 4.3.10. I tried the following:

+ moving php.ini from windir to desktop temporarily
+ replace existing php.ini with php.ini-recommended from 4.3.10 and reconfigure it
+ explicitly enabling the display of errors (display_errors, display_startup_errors) through the INI file
+ execute script on Apache2 (configured with the experimental server module) and check Apaches' error log. --> no new entries after scripts' execution.
