This example creates a connection object to a database, creates a recordset, then assigns
the connection object to the recordset using ADO com objects.

<?
$dbc = new COM('ADODB.Connection');
$dbc->Provider = 'MSDASQL';
$dbc->Open('NWIND'); // standard sample access database northwind
$rs = new COM("ADODB.Recordset");
$rs->Open('select * from product',$dbc,3); // 3 = static cursor
?>


OUTPUT ERROR MESSAGE:

Warning: Invoke() failed: Exception occurred. in d:\Inetpub\wwwroot\php\bugado.php on line
6
PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 78002D15

The error is because the COM object $dbc is passed as a parameter to $rs.

I have the same code in ASP. Works fine.


=========================

I have found the problem in COM.c

443 static void php_pval_to_variant(pval *pval_arg, VARIANTARG *var_arg)
444 {
445         OLECHAR *unicode_str;
446 
447         switch (pval_arg->type) {
448         case IS_OBJECT:
449         case IS_ARRAY:
450                 var_arg->vt = VT_EMPTY;
451                 break;

if IS_OBJECT, should check if it is COM object, and set var_arg->vt as appropriate

working on it

fixed in cvs now.
