new COM

Name

new COM — Creates a new instance of a COM object.

Synopsis

resource new COM(component[, remote_server]); string component: Component to load string remote_server (optional): Optional remote server for DCOM

Returns

Instance of COM object

Description

This is technically not a function but a constructor to a reserved class called COM for accessing COM objects in PHP 4.0. This is functionally similar to com_load() in PHP 3.0. From here you can easily call functions and read properties from the new COM object. For setting properties in the COM object, use com_set() and com_get() . The code in the following example would be written as 'set com = Server.CreateObject("ObjectName.ClassName")' in ASP.

Version

Existing since version 4.0

Example

Example 114. Create and read from a new COM object

$com = new COM("ObjectName.ClassName");
$ret = $com->DoFunction();
