Hi. Out of interest, I tried the following line of userland PHP ...
php -n -r "Reflection::export(new COM('CrystalReports11.ObjectFactory.1'));" The error reported is ... Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to Reflection::export() must implement interface Reflector, instance of com given in Command line code on line 1 My initial idea was to be able to use PHP to examine COM objects.
