Description:
------------
When COM is used to retrieve an out parameters value in a function call, the value remains empty.

See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/getstringvalue_method_in_class_stdregprov.asp

Reproduce code:
---------------
$com_reg = new COM("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\\\.\\root\\default:StdRegProv");
$value = 'old_value';
$com_reg -> getStringValue('subtree', "key\\subkey", 'entryName', $value);
print $value;

Expected result:
----------------
The value from the registry key 'subtree\key\subkey\entryName' should be printed.

Actual result:
--------------
The value 'old_value' that is declared earlier in the code is printed.

Please mark this request as BOGUS!

Wrap the variable into a variant object, then make the function call:

$com_reg = new
COM("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\\\.\\root\\default:StdR
egProv");
$value = new VARIANT();
$com_reg -> getStringValue('subtree', "key\\subkey", 'entryName',
$value);
print $value;

I disagree with the other comment.

According to: http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.com.php

"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."
