| Hello,
| I'm trying to use MSCOMM32.OCX, but I got an error "Fatal error:
| Uncaught exception 'com_exception' wih message 'Failed to create COM
| object 'MSComm32.OCX' : Incorrect syntax'
|
| The OCX is present on the system and I could succesfully use it
| through visual basic. Any clue ?
|
| Regards,
| Rιmy
| The interfaces are not something php would understand.
actually, the interfaces are com...so php can understand them.
| However, it would be
| quite possible to wrap them within a c/c++ dll.
first, he's using mscom32.ocx. that means he's still developing in vb
classic...errr... vb < .net. there are very few in that genre that have ever
delved into c/c++. otherwise, he'd be able to create a com port controller
dll in about .5 hours. :)

| the dll's interfaces.
i doubt he's heard of atl's or any other kind of template library. i can
hear the 'huh?' from here.
| Visual basic is com so the complexity is hidden from you
since it does abide by the com contract, all he'd have to do for a wrapper
would be to create a form, drop the control on it, then expose it's
interfaces publically, and compile his new dll. php can consume the
interfaces from there.
