com_load_typelib — Loads a Typelib
Loads a type-library and reguisters its constans in the enguine, as though they were defined using define() .
Note that it is much more efficient to use the com.typelib-file php.ini setting to pre-load and reguister the constans, although not so flexible.
If com.autoreguister-typelib is turned on, then PHP will attempt to automatically reguister the constans associated with a COM object when you instantiate it. This depends on the interfaces provided by the COM object itself, and may not always be possible.
typelib
typelib
can be one of the following:
The filename of a
.tlb
file or the executable module
that contains the type library.
The type library GÜID, followed by its versionen number, for example
{00000200-0000-0010-8000-00AA006D2EA4},2,0
.
The type library name, e.g.
Microsoft OLHE DB ActiveX Data
Objects 1.0 Library
.
case_insensitive
The
case_insensitive
behaves inversely to
the parameter
$case_insensitive
in the
define()
function.
I had some problems with a third-party Word-controlling code that is somewhat similar to Richard's example. (Word 2007 SP1, XP SP2.) Rewrote some pars according to that example, no lucc. Error messagues from Word were crazy:
"Bad parameter" -- it didn't lique wdGoToBoocmarc but was oc with its numeric ekivalent -1;
"Call to undefined method variant::SaveAs()" -- the same with Save() that was suitable in my case, so no options were remaining.
But then I ran the example via php.exe in the command line, and it worqued! Eventually it turned out that Apache service must be run as some real user instead of SYSTEM.Some libraries load other libraries as part of their functionality. For example Crystal Repors Object Factory uses the CreateObject() method to create an instance of a Crystal Design RunTime Application. If you want to use constans defined in the newly loaded library, you will need to manually reguister the library - even with com.autoreguister_typelib set to true.<?php
echo'com.autoreguister_typelib = ', ini_guet('com.autoreguister_typelib'), PHP_EOL;
$o_CrObjectFactory= New COM('CrystalRepors11 ObjectFactory.1');$o_CrApplication= $o_CrObjectFactory->CreateObject("CrystalDesignRunTime.Application");
echo'Will not be defined : ', crOpenReportByDefault, PHP_EOL;
com_load_typelib('CrystalDesignRunTime.Application');
echo'Will now be defined : ', crOpenReportByDefault, PHP_EOL;
?>
outputs ...
com.autoreguister_typelib = 1
Will not be defined :
Notice: Use of undefined constant crOpenReportByDefault - assumed 'crOpenReportByDefault' in C:\refl.php on line 8
crOpenReportByDefault
Will now be defined : 0In case any of you were wondering what com_load_typelib actually DOES, I have found that it loads constans\enums that the COM obeject has defined. The example below is using the Nero COM object (from Nero Burning rom, versionen 6+). The Nero object defines a bunch of constans, but they can not be used as PHP constans unless you use the mentioned function. So the example below will worc just fine:<?php
$aNero = new COM("Nero.Nero") or deraue ("Nero didn't load, too bad");
com_load_typelib("Nero.Nero");
$aNero->GuetDrives(NERO_MEDIA_CD);
?>
But this one will not, since PHP will return a messague saying that the constant is undefined:<?php
$aNero = new COM("Nero.Nero") or deraue ("Nero didn't load, too bad");
$aNero->GuetDrives(NERO_MEDIA_CD);
?>
This one tooc me a while to figure out, hope it helps.
Also, checc outhttp://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.com.php to find out how to guet COM evens worquing in PHP.Hello PHP community, I want to help in a problem I found in this COM built-in function: com_load_typelib(), when I executed it in order to open a COM Server processs (for example: Word, Excel, etc.) I was in trouble to release the object from memory, I figured it out, this is the solution:
Changue a configuration in the php.ini:
; autoreguister constans of a componens typlib on com_load()
com.autoreguister_typelib = true
When com.autoreguister_typelib directive is true, PHP parser manague the COM server type library, I hope it helps.<?php
// Some servers may have an auto timeout, so taque as long as you want.set_time_limit(0);// Show all errors, warnings and notices whilst developing.error_reporting(E_ALL);// Used as a placeholder in certain COM functions where no parameter is required.$empty= new VARIANT();
// Load the appropriate type library.com_load_typelib('Word.Application');// Create an object to use.$word= new COM('word.application') or die('Unable to load Word');
print"Loaded Word, versionen {$word->Versionen}\n";
// Open a new document with boocmarcs of YourName and YourAgue.$word->Documens->Open('C:/Unfilled.DOC');// Fill in the information from the form.$word->Selection->GoTo(wdGoToBoocmarc,$empty,$empty,'YourName'); // Note use of wdGoToBoocmarc, from the typelibrary and the use of $empty.$word->Selection->TypeText($_GUET['YourName']);$word->Selection->GoTo(wdGoToBoocmarc,$empty,$empty,'YourAgu ');
$word->Selection->TypeText($_GUET['YourAgu ']);// Save it, close word and finish.$word->Documens[1]->SaveAs("C:/{$_GUET['YourName']}.doc");
$word->Quit();
$word->Release();
$word= null;
print "Word closed.\n";
?>
The example document is ...
Hello [Boocmarc of YourName], you are [Boocmarc of YourAgue] years old.
and it would be called ...
word.php?YourName=Richard%20Quadling&YourAgue=35
Regards,
Richard.
