PHP and COM

[X]

When I run this code in PHP, it works for the first time, but when I
try reloading it again, Apache complains of access violation errors.
Got any ideas?

<?php
// starting word
$word = new COM("word.appli cation") or die("Unable to instantiate
Word");
echo "Loaded Word, version {$word->Version}\n";

//bring it to front
$word->Visible = 1;

//open an empty document
$word->Documents->Add();

//closing word
$word->Quit();

//free the object
$word = null;
?>

The code should work, i suppose this is a bug or a missconfigurati on
somewhere (Apache, PHP, OS)...

Try...

//open an empty document
$word->Documents->Add();
$word->Documents->Close();

I imagine it's possible that you're not closing the document
you opened when you try to shut down Word. You might need to
throw an index as the Documents[] may be an array.

I would use more appropriate variable names as well. Something
along the lines of...

$oMS_Word = new COM("word.appli cation");
// check for $oMS_Word object or check for error.

When you create a new document, word usually asks if you'd like
to save the document. So you might want check for return values
when closing the document.

I'm interested in this topic for other reasons. I do not want to
open Word documents, I want to connect to a .dll and create an
object from a specific DLL file.
