PHP and COM

[paulroskilly@hotmail.com]

Hi,

Im having problems getting my PHP to work with COM on a win2003 server,
ive got the same code running on a winxp box with no problems.

$excel = new COM("excel.appl ication") or die("Unable to instanciate
excel");

Excel is installed, if i try and run this line then i get the message :

'Failed to create COM object `excel.applicat ion': Access is denied

Tried various other COM objects like word but get the same message so
its not unique to excel.

I dont know why access is denied or what i can do to solve it. COM is
enabled in the php.ini page,


Thanks for any help.

It looks like the web server user doesn't have permissions to create the
COM object. You might want to check one of the Windows admin newsgroups
to see exactly what permissions you need to set.
