PHP 7.2.2 and Unicom

by

I am currently looking into writing a PHP interface that schedules Unicom tasks and i thought i would make a few post’s as i go along. Obviously, the first thing you have to do is to install PHP and set it up for COM use. Setting PHP up for COM is easy , just make sure you have this in your PHP.ini file. ( Search for [COM] )

; allow Distributed-COM calls
; http://php.net/com.allow-dcom
extension=php_com_dotnet.dll
com.allow_dcom = true

The way to check that com is enabled it so run a PHP file that has this in it

<?php
phpinfo(); 
?>

And when you run the file , make sure you see this

next we need to see if com is activated and works so i tried this on Excel. I have excel 2013 my machine

<?php 
     ini_set('display_errors', 1);
     ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
     error_reporting(E_ALL); 
     $xl = new COM("Excel.Application"); 
?>

and it produced this ,

Fatal error: Uncaught com_exception: 
Failed to create COM object `Excel.Application': 
Access is denied. in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\LoopMDD.php:9 Stack trace: #0 C:\inetpub\wwwroot\LoopMDD.php(9): 
com->com('Excel.Applicati...') #1 {main} thrown in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\LoopMDD.php on line 9

and i am ok with that as it shows the COM statement worked. If you want to take the excel thing further then you can take a look at this post and it will show you how to get access to XL this way. So whats next .. Well one of the first things i need to do is open an MDD so here is the PHP code to do that


<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

	echo 'Start';
  	$oMDM = new COM("MDM.Document") or die("Unable to instantiate MDM.Document"); 
	$oMDM->Open("C:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\USERS.mdd", '', 2);
	foreach ($oMDM->Variables as $oVar) {
		echo $oVar->Label ."<br/>";
	}
	echo 'Done';

?>

and so when i ran the PHP file i got the labels. So PHP COM , 64bit is enabled and working , now onto the next bit, watch this space.

JustCode : Update a record in a SQL Table

Site Under Renovation

by

Hi,

just to let you know that this site is undergoing some re-work. The site should be up at all times and you should be able to get to the content that you need.

Things to do :

  1. Choose a new theme.
  2. Make sure links work.
  3. Will be deleting all user accounts shortly due to spam users.
  4. Will be deleting all old job post.

I am also looking for content writers so if you are interested in writing articles for this site let me know and lets see if we can make something happen.

Hope you find what you need.

Regards
Admin
