PHP Fatal error: Class 'COM' not found (Already added entry into PHP.ini)

Question

Using Windows Server 2008 R2 which is running IIS which has PHP 5.3.28 installed.

Everytime I try and run my application I get PHP Fatal error: Class 'COM' not found however I have added the entry to the .ini file.

Can't get it to work any ideas?

In the installation documentaion for COM class - http://www.php.net/manual/en/com.installation.php - it indicates the with teh version of PHP you are using you must enable php_com_dotnet.dll in php.ini.

Make sure you have an entry like this in your php.ini

[COM_DOT_NET]
extension=php_com_dotnet.dll
