如何授予PHP对COM对象的访问权限？

Question

I am running PHP 5.3 on my local Windows 7 Laptop (have tried this all on our development server with no success, so I tried to see if I could get it to work on my laptop successfully first). When I call the following script:

$objAltovaXML = new COM('AltovaXML.Application');

I get the error:

Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Failed to create COM object `AltovaXML.Application': Access is denied.

I have checked using a PowerShell script I have found elsewhere on StackOverflow and have confirmed tht AltovaXML.Application is properly registered.

But how do I give my PHP script access to it?

Answer 1

While it should work I would just wrap a script around COM object and invoke that script via exec . Saves you a lot of trouble and is easy to debug separately and understand what exactly is going on.
