Question

I am trying to call a COM object from PHP using the COM interop extension. One function requires an OLE_COLOR as an argument? Is there any way to pass this kind of value from PHP?

I have tried passing a simple integer value with no success.

$this->oBuilder->Font->Color = 255; 

Answer 1

PHP can define the constants the COM exposes automatic.

set_ini(‘com.autoregister-typelib‘, true);

or by hand

com_load_typelib($typelib_name);

But if the OLE_COLOR is a object instead of an integer, string or other primitive
using constants (or integers) won’t work.

$Color = new COM('ColorClass'); $Color->set_color_function($red, $green, $blue); 

Or something similar will.
