Ok, I did a quick scan of the COM section on PHP's site (linked below)
and found this requirement:
"COM functions are only available for the Windows version of PHP."
In my first post, I mentioned that I am running my webserver on a
Netware 6.5 server.
In light of this I am guessing that this suggestion will not work. Is
this in fact the case or is there another way around this?
