I tried your code on several different php/xp/office combinations and
got everything possible from php exceptions to system crashes. The code
works fine if I remove com_load_typelib and replace wd... constants with
numeric values. This makes me think 'com_load_typelib' is somewhat
unstable and I'd suggest you just get rid of it. Define constants you
need directly in php (you can pull constant definitions out of the OLB
file using oleview or similar tool).
